ISCB Africa ASBCB 2013 - Call for Papers, Posters, and Travel
Fellowship Applications
Dear ISCB and ASBCB Members and Colleagues,
Don't miss your opportunity to submit a paper or poster to the
ISCB Africa ASBCB 2013 Conference
on Bioinformatics! Travel Fellowship applications are also now being
accepted.
This is the third joint meeting of ISCB and ASBCB, and takes
place from March 13th -15th in Tunis, Tunisia. The meeting will include topics
of general interest in bioinformatics, with a special focus on the
bioinformatics of African pathogens, vectors, and human genetics. We especially
welcome abstracts on the bioinformatics of diseases relevant to Africa, and with
the new Human Heredity and Health in Africa (H3Africa)
initiative the genetics focus is particularly relevant and timely.
Paper submissions: due by November 16th
Poster abstracts: due by December 12th
Travel Fellowship applications:
due by December 12th
Please visit
the
conference submission guidelines and follow the links to submit your paper
or poster today.
A limited number of Travel Fellowships will be made
available exclusively to students and post docs from African research
institutions whose paper or poster submission is accepted. Travel Fellowship
applicants must first submit a paper or poster before submitting a Travel
Fellowship application. Note that the poster submission deadline is the same as
for TF, so be sure not to wait until the last minute and possibly miss the
deadline!
Early registration is scheduled to open in three weeks. All
early registrants will benefit from discounted prices, and all ISCB and ASBCB
members will enjoy significant additional savings.
Please submit your
paper or poster (or both!) today. Feel free to share this mail with your
colleagues and collaborators to encourage their participation as well. We hope
to welcome you to Tunisia in March!
Yours sincerely,
Alia Benkahla
ISCB Africa ASBCB Conference Chair
