[Mattias Landfors]

Final call for speakers, the 9th annual Swedish bioinformatics workshop

We would like to remind you of the Swedish bioinformatics workshop in Umeå
the 12-13th March 2009. We hope that you will take the opportunity to give
an oral presentation for young researchers within the fields of
bioinformatics. The deadlines for abstract submission for oral presentations
and poster abstracts are Friday the 30th January and Friday the 13th
February respectively. Also note that this year we offer travel grants for
five of the speakers.

About SBW 2009
The conference is open to everyone, but is mainly targeting PhD students and
post-docs within the areas of bioinformatics including for example
computational biology, evolution, genomics, metabolomics, metagenomics,
protein structure prediction, statistical modelling and systems biology. 
 
The purpose of this annual conference is to provide an opportunity for
young, Sweden-based scientists in all the diverse disciplines of
bioinformatics to meet and exchange ideas during a few informal days of
science, progress, and fun. The scientific programme for the conference 2009
will consist of ten PhD student/postdoc presentations, talks by three
invited speakers, and a poster session.
 
Date:                   12-13th March 2009
Place:                  Umeå University, Chemical Biology Center (KBC). 
Registration fee:
The conference is free of charge and includes coffee and lunches for every
registered participant. The conference dinner is also included for
registered PhD students and post-docs at Swedish universities. Other
participants may attend the conference dinner at their own expense.
