The 8th International Bioinformatics Workshop

The 8th International Bioinformatics Workshop (IBW2010) will be held from June 4th to 6th, 2010 in Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.

The workshop is organized by Wuhan University, co-organized by Journal of Genetics and Genomics, Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, sponsored by NSFC.

This workshop will cover the subjects on genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, metabonomics, structural bioinformatics, Immunology informatics, computational systems biology and biological data mining. The annual International Bioinformatics Workshop(IBW) continues the series of seven previous workshops, which took place at Fudan University, Shanghai (2003), Tsinghua University, Beijing(2004), Jilin University, Changchun(2005), Central South University, Changsha(2006),Shandong University, Weihai (2007) ,Yunnan University, Kunming(2008), Soochow University, Soochow(2009).

With the same purpose of the previous seven workshops, IBW2010 aims at scientific communication for researchers at the cutting edge of progress in bioinformatics and related research fields. The workshop will involve invited presentations, given by leading scientists from China, USA, Canada and other countries, to report the latest research findings in bioinformatics and computational biology, as well as the contributed presentations and posters of the accepted papers to provide a friendly and flexible environment for researchers from all over the world to exchange their ideas and improve the cooperation.

You are cordially invited to participate in this great event, and/or pass this announcement to your friends, colleagues, associates, students, and others who you believe to be interested in IBW2010 workshop.

You are invited to submit the unpublished original research work on the bioinformatics research and applications to IBW2010(see call for papers).

Like the previous meeting, this year's IBW meeting will have a 5-day "tutorial" 30th May to 3rd June, named the dragon-star (more details) teaching project completely supported by NSFC of China ( http://dragonstar.ict.ac.cn ), and taught by Dr. Wang Wei of UNC/CS. This will be a great opportunity for students and junior teacher to attend.

Look forward to seeing you in Wuhan in June, 2010.
