Call For Papers

The Computational Structural Bioinformatics Workshop (CSBW 2024), being held at the Uuniversity of Massachusetts in Boston campus, invites high-quality original papers and posters on developments in computational problems relating to biomolecular structure. Authors of accepted papers will be given the opportunity to give a 20-minute oral summary of their work, with time for questions. At least one author of an accepted paper is required to register for the workshop to have the manuscript appear in the proceedings.official conference proceedings.
