The ISCB Rocky Mountain Bioinformatics Conference series began twenty years ago as a regional conference and has grown into an international program with a spotlight on regional development in the computational biosciences. The presenters of the Rocky conference are students, and early and late career scientists representing a broad spectrum of universities, industrial enterprises, government laboratories, and medical libraries from around the world.

The Conference has much to offer and is a great place for early career researchers and students to present their work and for senior researchers to bring their lab teams and grant teams for an affordable retreat at a luxury resort!

The conference includes short "flash" presentations (10 minute talks), poster presentations and keynote presentations on current projects including significant works-in-progress involving the application of advanced computational methods to significant problems in biology or medicine.

GOLD:

The Gold Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder was established in 1971 by Dr. Larry Gold upon his arrival at the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Starting with basic research on bacteria and bacteriophage, the lab shifted its focus to human disease following the invention of the SELEX process in 1989. The Gold Lab today focuses on the utilization of biological and information technology to improve healthcare.
