The first Advances in Computational Biology conference will bring together researchers working on systems biology, omics technologies, artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC) with applications to biology from both the public and the private sectors. The conference is open to everyone to attend, but all the speakers will be women, providing an excellent opportunity to share ideas and build research networks.
The programme will include poster and oral presentations, as well as keynotes from leading scientists in the computational biology and HPC fields. Furthermore, the participants will have the opportunity to interact personally with female leaders in the fields of IT, academic research and politics that support the conference.
AdvCompBio is a conference to promote women's research in computational biology that will be held November 28-29 in La Pedrera (Barcelona, Spain).
The conference is organised by the Bioinfo4Women programme from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) with the collaboration of IMIM-UPF Research Programme on Biomedical Informatics (GRIB), the Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB/ELIXIR-ES) and the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya· BarcelonaTech (UPC). It is an affiliate conference of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB).
Submission Guidelines
All abstracts must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The conference topics have been kept broad; if you would like to submit research on a topic and have doubts on whether the abstract would be accepted due to scope, please send us an email to: advcompbio@bsc.es.
Please note that this conference only accepts abstract submission and presentation by women.
