ISCB Meetings

A core element of ISCB's mission is to advance the scientific understanding of living systems through computation. A concerted effort toward achieving this mission is focused on serving our global membership through high quality meetings. Intellectual leadership through meetings is a long standing tradition of the ISCB as evidenced by the growing list of conferences and events the Society produces directly or co-sponsors/affiliates-with each year. Each conference that bears the ISCB name or logo is intended to achieve rapid dissemination of the latest scientific trends and topics by highlighting emerging and continuing challenges of our science. Society activities are further diversified through specialized tracks/workshops/sessions within these conferences or as stand-alone events.

ISCB Conference offerings include:

ISMB since 1993
Rocky since 2003
CSHALS since 2008
ISCB Africa ASBCB since 2009
ISCB Latin America since 2010
GLBIO since 2011
ISCB Asia since 2011
Affiliated & Co-Sponsored Meetings & Events
