Special Issue of Bioinformatics Featuring ISMB 2020

The Coronavirus pandemic is not going to stop ISCB from delivering ISMB 2020. The “stage” is set and we are ready to welcome you into our virtual world. If you are registered or still considering if you will join us, here are some quick links to help you plan your four days of fun.

The annual International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) is the flagship meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). The 2020 conference is the 28th ISMB conference, which has grown to become the world's largest bioinformatics/computational biology conference.

COVID-19 has disrupted the world as we know it.  ISCB knows how important it is to continue the exchange of science in these trying times.  Instead of cancelling or postponing ISMB 2020, we will be taking the conference 100% online using a virtual platform. This platform will enable us to deliver all of the great scientific content that you would have enjoyed while attending the conference in Montreal.  

ISMB brings together scientists from computer science, molecular biology, mathematics, statistics and related fields, and provides an intense multidisciplinary forum for disseminating the latest developments in bioinformatics/computational biology in a virtual environment.  The conference will foster fresh dialogues, collaboration, and learning opportunities.  Here is what to expect:

• Live and on demand sessions to benefit attendees from all time zones
• More than 500 expected talks broadcast over the conference days
• Exclusive access to the ISMB 2020 on-demand repository of talks and poster presentations for viewing at your leisure after conference
• Live question and answer feature to engage with the speaker during sessions
• Live chat feature to engage with other participants within your session room
• A networking café for video meet ups with colleagues, friends, or future collaborators
• Opportunity to explore the virtual exhibit hall to chat & meet with exhibitors
• Opportunity to explore the virtual poster hall (yes, all of those great poster presentations in one place!

About ISCB

The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) -www.iscb.org - was the first and continues to be the only society representing computational biology and bioinformatics on a worldwide scale.  ISCB serves a global community of over 3,500 researchers, practitioners, technicians, students, and suppliers dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of living systems through computation. It convenes the world’s experts and future leaders in top conferences and partners with publications that promote discovery and expand access to computational biology and bioinformatics globally. ISCB delivers valuable training and information about education, employment, and advancements in science. It’s open access; reproducible science mentality ensures everyone has access, member and nonmember alike, to scientific information. The organization also provides an influential voice on government and scientific policies that are important to our members and benefit the public. ISCB is a non-profit registered 501(c)3 organization that operates out of the United States from the state of Virginia.

Introduced by: David Sankoff, Honorary Conference Chair
Time: Thursday, July 16, 9:30 am - 10:30 am (Eastern Daylight Time)
Presentation Title: Combinatorics, Statistics and Topology enabling Genomics

Abstract

The influence of computing disciplines on biology needs no reiteration. I will talk about questions in genomics where a confluence of methods has helped in answering interesting aspects of the problem. For example, random graphs and statistics in intra-species history reconstruction, topology and statistical learning in disease genomics and metagenomics.

Biography:

Dr. Laxmi Parida is an IBM Fellow, Master Inventor and heads the Computational Genomics at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, USA. She is a visiting professor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York. Over the last 10 years, she has led the IBM Science team in the Cacao Consortium (with MARS, USDA), the Genographic Project with National Geographic, the Bioinformatics team in the "Sequence the Food Supply Chain Consortium" across multiple IBM labs in different geographies, and the science team in the personalized cancer medicine system “Watson for Genomics”.

Her research areas include population genomics, cancer genomics, plant genomics, bioinformatics, algorithms (including AI) and topological data analysis. She has published over 200 peer-reviewed research papers; edited 10 volumes and authored a monograph on pattern discovery in bioinformatics. She holds over 40 US patents. She is on the advisory board of NYU Engineering School and editorial board of BMC Bioinformatics, Journal of Computational Biology and an Associate Editor, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics and SIAM Journal of Discrete Mathematics.

In her spare time she authors a blog and a book on food, and, is a teacher and performer of Argentine Tango.
