The ISCB Regional Student Group - Brazil (RSG-Brazil) in cooperation with the Brazilian Association of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (AB3C) will be  holding the 4th Brazilian Student Council Symposium (4th BR-SCS 2019) with the theme: Women in Bioinformatics, on October 30th, 2019 at the Campos do Jordão Convention Centre, Campos do Jordão, São Paulo, Brazil. The RSG-Brazil is recognized as a member of the International Society of Computational Biology Student Council (ISCB-SC) and a venue for students to present and share their research work along the field of bioinformatics and computational biology in Brazil.

Submission Guidelines
