SCS7 Highlights The 7th annual ISCB Student Council
Symposium (http://symposium.iscbsc.org)
is a global scientific forum for graduate students, post docs, and
new researchers. Our goal is to provide an open, friendly and
supportive environment for students to meet their peers, exchange
ideas, and network. We encourage students to present their research
through oral and poster presentations, offer travel fellowships to
support symposium delegates, and host social events for students
during ISMB. Our 2011 Symposium program reflects the hard work and dedication of an amazing group of student volunteers, who donated their time, expertise, and enthusiasm preparing for this event. It showcases compelling research in a range of fields - from proteomics and genomics to the bioinformatics of health and disease - and features 12 student speakers and more than 50 student poster presentations. In addition, we are honored to have Curtis Huttenhower (Harvard School of Public Health), Ivet Bahar (University of Pittsburgh, and Chad Myers (University of Minnesota) as keynote speakers. With the help of our generous sponsors, we awarded 12 travel fellowships for symposium delegates (see http://symposium.iscbsc.org/content/travel-fellowships). Congratulations to all successful applicants! The Student Council Symposium Committee and volunteer staff look forward to seeing you in Vienna!
