Recognize Achievement, Nominate a Colleague to the 2023 Class of ISCB Fellows
 
Nominations will close 01 February 2023 at 6:00 AM EST

The International Society for Computational Biology introduced the ISCB Fellows Program in 2009 to honor members that have distinguished themselves through outstanding contributions to the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics. During the inaugural year of the program, ISCB conferred the Fellow status on the seven winners-to-date of the ISCB Accomplishment by a Senior Scientist Award, and recognized these distinguished scientists during the ISMB/ECCB 2009 conference in Stockholm, Sweden. Since then, ISCB has sought nominations from our community of members, which are reviewed and voted upon by a selection committee. New Fellows are introduced at each year's ISMB conference.

Final Countdown is on for Special Session & Workshop Submissions

Deadline: January 12, 2023

The topic and structure of the sessions can vary but should be of interest to a substantial component of the bioinformatics research community.
Sessions can be of three main types:

  • Focused sessions or workshops on specific research problems in computational biology and bioinformatics (e.g., cancer genomics, genome visualization tools, precision medicine, single cell omics, population genetics, regulatory genomics.)
  • Software schools, aimed at providing training in new methods
  • Activities focused on students and postdocs, or on non-academic career opportunities
