Dear Colleagues,

The European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB10) will be held 
on September 26-29, 2010 in Ghent, Belgium.

=== PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: April 9, 2010 ===

ECCB10 is the key European computational biology event in 2010 uniting 
scientists working in a broad range of disciplines, including 
 bioinformatics, computational biology, biology, medicine, and systems 
biology. As part of the ECCB conference series, it will be organized 
this year jointly by the Belgian and Dutch bioinformatics communities.

Ghent is one of Europe's most exciting medieval settings, a glorious 
 eclectic city with spectacular buildings and a vivid cultural 
experience (National Geographic Traveler recently ranked it 3rd best 
historic place to visit internationally). Ghent is directly accessible 
by train from Brussels airport. The conference venue is highly 
convenient and located in a beautiful park within the city center.

We invite you to submit your work in any area of computational biology 
 and bioinformatics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to
* Genomes and protein analysis
* Algorithms and phylogeny
* Transcriptomics
* Structural Bioinformatics
* Proteomics
* Text mining
* Pathways and interactions
* Databases
* Systems biology
* Bioinformatics for diseases

Papers should describe previously unpublished work and will undergo peer 
review. Papers that demonstrate both the development of new 
 computational techniques and their application to biology are 
especially encouraged. Accepted papers will be published in 
Bioinformatics and will be indexed in MEDLINE and ISI. Authors of 
accepted papers present their work orally at the conference.

Can we kindly request that you forward this announcement to the members 
of your team?

We look forward to welcoming you to Ghent.
