About ISMB
The Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference brings together computational biology researchers of every career stage from around the world. Hosted by the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB), ISMB has grown over 22 years to become the world's largest bioinformatics/computational biology conference.
ISMB
- convenes an interdisciplinary group of scientists dedicated to the advancement of biological discovery through computation.
- educates scholars at all stages of their career
- showcases state-of-the-art advances in the dynamic fields of computational biology and bioinformatics
- is the forum for introducing new directions and for announcing technological breakthroughs
ISMB attracts top international scientists in the life sciences and offers a strong scientific program and the broadest scope of any international bioinformatics/computational biology. Topics of interest include sequence analysis, evolution and phylogeny, comparative genomics, protein structure, molecular and supramolecular dynamics, molecular evolution, gene regulation and transcriptomics, RNA biology, proteomics, systems biology, ontologies, databases and data integration, text mining and information extraction, and human health.
In addition, join us prior to ISMB on July 11 & 12 to participate in the Special Interest Group Meetings, Satellite Meetings,Student Council Symposium and Tutorials.
Attend ISMB July 13-15, 2014 to present your research, learn about the latest developments in the field, network with colleagues, and help shape the future of computational biology and bioinformatics!

Biography:
Michal Linial is a Professor of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, where she heads the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies.
She received her PhD from the Hebrew University's Medical School (1986) in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. During her post-doctoral training in Stanford University, she engaged in molecular neuroscience with the goal of deciphering the molecular makeup of the synapse. She joined the Hebrew University (1989) and was a driving force in merging computational and analytical tools with classical wet biology. She is a founder (1999) and the chair of the undergraduate and graduate joint program in Computer sciences and Life Sciences at the Hebrew University. She heads The Sudarsky Center for Computational Biology at the Hebrew University.
Her laboratory is active in the two arenas - She leads a wet lab as well as a computational group. Her research interests span a broad range of topics such as stem cells, neuronal differentiation, synapse regulation, cell biology of secretory systems and the molecular mechanisms that underlie behavior and metabolic diseases. With the maturation of large-scale technologies, she has become involved in developing methods for target selection in Structural Genomics, protein family classification and the development of methodologies for the analysis of large-scale biological data sets. She is particularly interested in introducing powerful computational tools to meet the needs of the biological and bio-medical research communities. Among the web tools developed by her research group are PANDORA, ProtoNet, and EVEREST. One of her main recent areas of activity is proteomics where she combines experimental, technological and computational work.
She is an ISCB's vice-president, a member of its Board of Directors, and is active in the Conference and Education committees and the ISCB Students' council. She served as the Chair of the European Conference in Computational Biology, and a member of the steering committees of RECOMB and ECCB.
