ISCB Buzz: Conference Updates, SIGs at ISMB/ECCB 2015, Outgoing Board Members, FASEB Releases Report & DREAM9.5 ChallengesBook your Hotel for ISCB Africa & SAVE!
Join your colleagues for this 3 day conference featuring over 35 research presentations including 5 outstanding keynote speakers! Register today for non-stop networking, training & learning!.
Mark your calendar for the SIG line-up at ISMB/ECCB 2015!
ISMB/ECCB 2015 will hold a number of one and two-day specialized meetings in computational biology. These meetings consist of Special Interest Group Meetings (SIGs) and Satellite Meetings (SMs) and will be held prior to the main conference. A SIG meeting is a one- or two-day focused workshop. It provides a broad and/or deep perspective on developments in a field of research, and is intended as a way to address a topic more extensively than can be done in the main conference. .
VIZBI 2015: Early Registration Closing February 7!
VIZBI 2015, an Affiliate conference of ISCB, will take place on March 25-27 at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA. It features 21 invited talks from high-profile speakers on the state-of-the-art and challenges in visualizing a diverse range of biological data, an Art and Biology evening, and poster and breakout sessions!
FASEB Sustaining Discover Report
The Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) released an analysis of the threats to continued progress in biological and medical science research. Sustaining Discovery in Biological and Medical Science: A Framework for Discussion examines the challenges facing researchers and presents a series of recommendations to alleviate them.
The DREAM9.5 Challenges
We are pleased to announce that the DREAM Olfaction Prediction Challenge, the first of the DREAM9.5 Challenges is now open for participation. This Challenge focuses on predicting behavioral responses to a panel of odors, and features a first-of-its-kind dataset.
Thank you to the ISCB Outgoing Board Members!
As ISCB transitions leadership, we want to sincerely thank our outgoing board members, Erik Bongcam-Rudloff, Guilherme Oliveira, Avinash Shanmugam, & Hershel Safer, for their exemplary service. They have shown constant support and dedication to the growth and development of the Society over the past years. The Society hopes and encourages all past members to continue to be engaged in other society activities & initiatives.

ISCB mourns the loss of Rockefeller University mathematician Peter Sellers. Sellers was an early contributor to the theory of computing evolutionary distances between nucleotide sequences (PNAS 76(7):3041 1979). Through a four-plus decade career at Rockefeller, Dr. Sellers's research covered numerous problems at the intersection of mathematics and biology. His earliest collaborations with biologists were in the field of biochemical kinetics. Peter was also an accomplished sailor, who designed and built his own sailboat.
