Rocky ’05 Bioinformatics Conference - Set for Aspen, Colorado in December 2005

ISCB is hosting the 3rd Rocky Mountain Regional Bioinformatics Conference (Rocky '05) to be held in Snowmass/Aspen, Colorado, USA from December 9-11, 2005.

The meeting is designed to bring together computational bioscientists from the North American Rocky Mountain Region to share research results and build community among the region. A mix of invited lectures, discussions on topics of regional interest and short talks from many regional research groups as well as presentations from outside the region will make up the scientific program.

While the conference is focused regionally, it will also be of interest to anyone outside the region who wishes to attend. We encourage those within and outside the region to participate in this conference and register before the early registration deadline to take advantage of early bird conference registration fees.

The conference is organized by the University of Colorado Center for Computational Biology and chaired by Lawrence Hunter, Ph.D., Director, Computational Bioscience Program, University of Colorado School of Medicine and Stephen C. Billups, Ph.D., Director, University of Colorado Center for Computational Biology

Keynote Speakers

Asa Ben-Hur, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science, Colorado State University

Larry Hunter, University of Colorado School of Medicine

Dr. Kirk E. Jordan, Emerging Solutions Executive, IBM Strategic Growth Initiatives/Deep Computing

Dr. Katherina J. Kechris, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of California,
San Francisco, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics

Steve Lincoln, Vice President of Informatics, Affymetrix, Inc.

Gene Myers, Group Leader, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Janelia Farms Research Campus (HHMI JFRC)

Christoph W. Sensen, Professor, University of Calgary, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Sun Center of Excellence for Visual Genomics, Faculty of Medicine

A special thanks to the sponsors of Rocky ’05.

“Great meeting! I hope to attend next year and participate more extensively . I liked that the short talks weren't over-coordinated by topics. Well done. Thank You. "

"Great conference, great location, good job."

"Great group of people. I came here looking for collaborators, grad students: I found "one-step removed" colleagues working same problems, and so, defined collaborative efforts during 5-minutes breaks and I found 3 possibilities as additions to lab-team! I want to share information with colleagues who would then be more likely to attend next time."
