Leading Professional Society for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
Connecting, Training, Empowering, Worldwide
When you need to connect with colleagues in computational biology, where do you go? If you're like most in our Society, you attend an ISCB conference.
Why? Because you know you will receive the latest news on scientific methods and discoveries from leaders in our field. And you also know that you'll meet new colleagues from around the world that will spark ideas for future research and collaboration.
Your membership has helped make ISCB the leading society for bioinformatics and computational biology. We are so grateful to you for supporting our scientific community. Thanks to you, our Society works to advance our field in over 70 countries, whether through conferences, publications, policy, education or training.
ISCB is your scientific society. We exist to serve you and advance computational biology and bioinformatics. As you know, the future of our science depends on current students, the next generation of academic and industry scientists.
Each year, ISCB travel fellowships make it possible for approximately 75-100 students and postdocs to attend our conferences. Now is a crucial time. Government grants for travel fellowships are decreasing. Our student members are counting on your support. How were you helped when you were a student? Are you in a position to help others?
Your gift is extremely important to ISCB because it will provide resources that will make an immediate impact, resources that will help students actively participate in and benefit from a committed community of scientists.
Your gift of $5, $25, $50, $100 or $500 can make all the difference…to our postdocs, our graduate students, and undergraduates. And if you'd like, you can name a travel fellowship with a $2,000 contribution. Your gift at this amount will fully support one young investigator to experience an ISCB conference.
As bioinformatics and computational biology progress, your Society is committed to helping students grow and thrive in our field. Please help to make this possible with your contribution. To make a donation, or learn more about giving opportunities, visit www.iscb.org/iscb-support-iscb.
Thank you so much for supporting our future leaders.
Sincerely,
Burkhard Rost
ISCB President

Join us in Colorado for the ROCKY 2013 Conference!
The Rocky Mountain Bioinformatics Conference is in its 11th year in the beautiful mountains of Aspen/Snowmass. The conference brings together scientists and students from around the world for three days of 10-minute flash talks, plenty of time for networking and forming collaborations, and of course, time for some world-class skiing. This conference is a wonderful opportunity for groups from the same lab to hold a retreat in conjunction with Rocky. Many students have had the opportunity to give their first live presentation at Rocky and we encourage all to submit an abstract to give a presentation.
Mark Your Calendars: December 12 - 14, 2013!

Gary Bader, PhD
Associate Professor University of Toronto, Canada
Kirk E. Jordan, PhD

Submit an Abstract!
Don't miss your chance to be considered for oral presentations and/or poster presentations!
This conference is designed to present the latest findings about regulatory and systems genomics, foster discussion and current research direction, and establish new collaborations that will advance the development of a systems-level understanding of gene regulation.
Topics include:
If your abstract is accepted, it will be included in an abstract booklet that will be distributed to all conference participants. The abstract booklet will also include abstracts of full-length papers accepted in our partner journals Genome Research, G3: Gene / Genome / Genetics and the Journal of Computational Biology.
Plan to attend one of the premier meetings for computational and experimental scientists in the areas of regulatory genomics and systems biology.
