A Global Community

  • ISCB Student Council

    dedicated to facilitating development for students and young researchers

  • Affiliated Groups

    The ISCB Affiliates program is designed to forge links between ISCB and regional non-profit membership groups, centers, institutes and networks that involve researchers from various institutions and/or organizations within a defined geographic region involved in the advancement of bioinformatics. Such groups have regular meetings either in person or online, and an organizing body in the form of a board of directors or steering committee. If you are interested in affiliating your regional membership group, center, institute or network with ISCB, please review these guidelines (.pdf) and send your exploratory questions to Diane E. Kovats, ISCB Chief Executive Officer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).  For information about the Affilliates Committee click here.

ISCB INNOVATION FORUM


Sign up now for the ISCB Innovation ForumThe ISCB Innovation Forum is a unique and productive opportunity for industry to contribute in a sustained manner to the ISCB mission and to gain prominence in its expert and influential constituency. We look to the ISCB Innovation Forum to provide our corporate and industry partners the opportunity to influence directly and actively the future of ISCB and its growing membership.

The mission of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) is to be the leading professional society for researchers, practitioners, technicians, students, and suppliers in the field of computational biology and bioinformatics. ISCB is dedicated to the advancement of life science research, the dissemination of knowledge in the field, and the responsible preparation of the next generation of experts. By building the networks and bridges necessary to support research developments by passionate groups of researchers from a variety of backgrounds, we believe that the ISCB enables computational biology and bioinformatics to transform and accelerate basic biological research.


Benefits


The ISCB Innovation Forum recognizes corporations and industry groups with the highest level of commitment to the mission and programs of ISCB.

The activities of the Innovation Forum offer unequaled opportunities for the constituencies it represents, including the following examples:

A Forum for dialogue on timely issues of interest to the entire field, thus affording an opportunity to maintain an open dialogue with other industry professionals and ISCB leaders on strategic priorities and timely issues in computational biology, bioinformatics, and related fields.

The design and implementation of workshops important to the members and industry in general: Innovation Forum members will receive exclusive access to workshops and programs specifically developed by the Industry Platform that address the most relevant needs of the group.

Opportunities for unmitigated collaboration: Through its open dialogue, the stakeholders identify areas of collaboration that can advance computational sciences, translate key research findings, and address challenges facing the global community.

Access to and guidance of tomorrow’s leaders: Forum’s member contributions to ISCB will support travel fellowships for student and post-doctoral researchers to attend ISCB official conferences held worldwide.

By joining the Innovation Forum and supporting ISCB your organization gains access to an international community of researchers and decision makers not available in any other forum. The trans-disciplinary focus of this community – as opposed to groups defined by a single field, method, or discipline – offers a robust audience assembled from the preeminent academic, industrial, and governmental institutions, as well as non-profit labs, functioning in more than 70 countries.
