Funding opportunity for U.S. scientists in Informatics: September 1, 2018
The PhRMA Foundation’s mission is to support young U.S. scientists in disciplines important to the pharmaceutical industry by awarding them competitive research fellowships and grants. 2019 funding opportunities are available at pre-doctoral, post-doctoral, starter grant and sabbatical levels. The goal of the Informatics Program is to promote the use and development of informatics in an integrative approach towards the understanding of human biological and disease processes. Informatics awards will support career development of scientists engaged in research that significantly integrates cutting-edge information technology with advanced biological, chemical, and pharmacological sciences.


ECCB 2018 Early Bird Registration Closing July 31!
On 8-12 September 2018 the Hellenic Society for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics will organise the seventeenth edition of the European Conference on Computational Biology in association with the ELIXIR. The ECCB 2018 will take place in the historic city of Athens in Greece. It is the main computational biology event in Europe and will welcome scientists working in a variety of disciplines, including bioinformatics, computational biology, biology, medicine, and systems biology. Participating in ECCB 2018 will be the perfect opportunity to keep pace with cutting edge research, and to network with members of ECCB community. Register today!
