Geographical Area Included:
Brazil and Latina American Countries

Historical:
The Brazilian Association for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology has been officially registered in October 2004 after two years of co-existence and maturation period within the forum at the International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ICoBiCoBi). This Association was established as an attempt to integrate our research
community. The Association's main goal is to make easier the complex task of training young scientists interested in Bioinformatics. Furthermore, the Association is supposed to give a full support to the organization of the ISMB 2006, which is going to be held in Fortaleza. This is a crucial opportunity for the Brazilian Bioinformatics community to continue its successful process of integration into the international scenario.

Goals:
The AB3C adopted the ISCB goal list as its own;
The AB3C serves a Brazilian and Latin American membership by impacting government and scientific policies, providing high quality publications and meetings, and through distribution of valuable information about training, education, employment and relevant news from related fields.

Membership:
The AB3C counts on potential membership between 400 and 800. This is based on numbers we have obtained in previous two ICoBiCoBi conferences as well as on interest from some Latin American Countries.
