Description |
|
| The German Conference on Bioinformatics (GCB) is an annual, international conference devoted to all areas of bioinformatics. It is the annual meeting of the German "Gemeinsame Fachgruppe Bioinformatik" (FaBI). Recent meetings attracted a multinational audience with 250 – 300 participants each year. The meeting is open to all fields of bioinformatics and is meant as a platform for the German and European bioinformatics community. The upcoming GCB will be organised by the Austrian Bioinformatics Platform ATBI and will be held at the University of Vienna. The conference will focus on computation in life sciences and aims to showcase applications and opportunities beyond. Spearheading scientists will be presenting along with young researchers and industry representatives. The first day September 25 is reserved for workshops and satellite meetings. The main conference will take place from September 26-28. The schedule will allow for fly-in on Wed and fly-out on Fri. For the first time ever the GCB will be held outside of Germany. While Vienna is mostly known for its impressive buildings from various architectural styles that no tourist should miss out, it also is the biggest University city in the German-speaking area and one of the hubs for life sciences in Europe. We have managed to enlist keynote speakers with exciting topics that cover many different aspects of bioinformatics and computational biology! We are proud to welcome at the GCB seven invited speakers: Philip E. Bourne, University of Virginia, US Soren Brunak, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Roderic Guigo, Centre de Regulació Genòmica Barcelona, Spain Franziska Matthäus, University of Frankfurt, Germany Gunnar Rätsch, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Lincoln Stein, Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, Canada Yinyin Yuan, Institute of Cancer Research London, UK Venue: University of Vienna, Campus Althanstraße, 1090 Vienna Important dates: Mar 15 Announcement of calls May 1 – Jun 15 Submission of structured abstracts May 1 – Jun 15 Submission of Junior Research Group Presentation May 1 – Jun 15 Submission of workshop proposals May 1 – Aug 15 Submission of posters Registration: May 1 – Jul 15 Early Jul 16 – Sep 24 Late Sep 25 – Sep 28 On site Vienna and the Austrian bioinformaticians look forward to an interesting and enjoyable GCB 2018 in Vienna!
