 SCS6 Highlights The goal of the 6th ISCB Student Council Symposium (http://symposium.iscbsc.org) is to create an opportunity for students to meet their peers from all over the world for an exchange of ideas and networking. To achieve this goal, we encourage students to present their work through oral and poster presentations, we provide financial support for them to attend the symposium and we organize various social events. Exciting new research results are presented by twelve selected student authors who submitted outstanding work to the symposium. More than 30 young researchers volunteered to review 94 abstracts. A wide range of research areas is covered and the poster session also offers exciting science in various domains. In addition, we are honored to have Gary Bader (University of Toronto), David Altshuler (Broad Institute) and Larry Hunter (University of Colorado) as keynote speakers. To support the symposium delegates, we provide no less than 18 travel fellowships, including four full fellowships of 2,500 USD each for students from developing countries (see http://symposium.iscbsc.org/content/travel-fellowships#winners). Congratulations to all successful applicants! We thank our volunteers who have spent many months preparing all aspects of this symposium and hope you enjoy it!  |
