June 26, 2020 at 11:00AM EDT, At Home with Covid-19
by Brian Shoichet, an ISCB COVID-19 Webinar

The urgency of the coronavirus pandemic has motivated investigators world wide to seek approved drugs or investigation new drugs as a way to rapidly advance therapeutics into clinical trials to treat the disease. I will describe a large collaboration, hosted by the UCSF Quantitative Biology Institute, to do that in a mechanistically focused way. Using AP-MS, a host-pathogen network of viral and human proteins was created, and drugs were sought targeting the human partner. From among 322 high confidence human proteins associated with 26 viral proteins emerged 63 that were druggable. Against those, 69 drugs were tested for efficacy, and from these 10 drugs in two broad classes emerged: those targeting protein biogenesis, and those acting against the Sigma1 and Sigma2 receptors. The activities of these drugs, and the chemoinformatics infrastructure that supported their selection, will be discussed. The mechanism-based repurposing strategy will be compared to a complementary effort that targets viral proteins and seeks novel chemical matter, using structure-based ultra-large library docking.

*Access to the webinar series is complimentary for ISCB members. Nonmembers can join for a fee.

ISCB Statement on Countering Social Injustice
 
The International Society for Computational Biology abhors the losses, harm, pain, and distress caused by racism in all forms.  ISCB acknowledges, respects, and promotes the value of a diverse community as core to our international organization and culture.  ISCB leadership has taken a pause to reflect on recent events – to listen, learn, and consider how ISCB, as a global organization, can do even more to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion.

ISCB is committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and equal society for all our members. These values are enshrined in the Society’s code of conduct, values, and ethics.  The events of the past weeks highlight the painful reality of racism, systemic discrimination, and violence for many in the world. ISCB leadership took this time to evaluate where our Society stands and how we can help.  

ISCB actively seeks to help scientists and communities who lack the resources available to many of our members.  Every year, we offer conference travel fellowships to students from countries and backgrounds underrepresented in science, technology, and mathematics.  This year, the Society’s flagship meeting, Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology 2020, will be a new virtual experience.  The online platform provides a unique, new opportunity to invite broader global participation from Computational Biologists worldwide, regardless of socio-economic background.  Our invitation for everybody to join is supported by a fee structure that takes the economic background of delegates into account.

ISCB has sought to create a diverse and inclusive environment where all can come together, meet, exchange ideas, and work toward goals in an atmosphere of safety, respect and civility.  We want to do even more to address the core issues of racial injustice that have now been made clear through recent events.  Thus, we pledge to continue our diversity efforts and seek to expand them.  This is no easy task and we recognize that systemic change requires new ideas and all of our voices to be heard.  We would like to hear from members of our community and are keen to identify actionable issues and weaknesses in the society that we can address.  We invite you to contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your concrete, actionable ideas.

We support all members, especially those who identify as part of a marginalized group.  We call upon all our members to work within our communities to confront and oppose racism, discrimination, and harassment.

Our field of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology already bridges multiple disciplines and people of different backgrounds.  At many institutions around the world, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology cross multiple Departments, Divisions, and Schools.  Let’s use our multidisciplinary abilities to work together to navigate these trying times and to find ways to lead and exemplify unconditional support for each other and for human and civil rights.  Let’s strive together to promote belonging and inclusiveness where each of us, with our diverse backgrounds, skills, training and talents can excel. Together we can use our science, our networks, and our good will to help build a better world.
 
 

 

ISCB-LA SoIBio BioNetMX Virtual Symposium,  October 28 - 29, 2020
 
The ISCB, SoIBio, BioNetMx leadership teams have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. Out of an abundance of caution, the ISCB-Latin America SoIBio BioNetMX conference held as a face-to-face gathering will be postponed until November 3 - 7, 2021.

We recognize how important it is to continue to share scientific research and network, thus we are preparing a two-day virtual symposium October 28 - 29, 2020. This two-day event will feature:

  • Invited speakers
  • Roundtable networking breakouts
  • Women in STEM panel discussion
  • Flash talks selected from an open call for abstracts
  • Scientific talks selected from articles submissions to Interface Focus Journal
The conference leadership team is still working to define all of the particulars related to shifting the conference to an online symposium. We appreciate your patience as we do this. In the meantime, please mark your calendars for October 28 - 29, and consider submitting research for presentation consideration.

More information and updates can be found at https://www.iscb.org/iscb-latinamerica2020.

Sincerely,
ISCB-Latin America SoIBio BioNetMX Leadership

ECCB 2020 Goes Virtual
ECCB 2020 Goes Virtual
The ECCB2020 Organising Committee has been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation globally and its impact on the conference. As the situation continues to change rapidly, our top priority remains to ensure the health and safety of all the ECCB2020 participants. This is the reason that leads us to announce that ECCB in its traditional format will be postponed to 2022 and a fully virtual edition for ECCB2020 will be organized. This virtual edition - the first one in 19th editions - will be structurally simpler to facilitate attendees' interactions while keeping the spirit of the ECCB series.

The ISCB COVID-19 Section (https://www.iscb.org/covid19) offers four lines of this initiative:

  • ISCB COVID-19 Statements. Here you find statements on the ongoing pandemic that have been issued by ISCB.
  • ISCB COVID-19 Webinar collection. Here you find webinars specific to the topics of COVID-19 and Sars Cov-2 that are organized by ISCB. Mark your calendars for the first complimentary webinar on May 19!
  • ISCB COVID-19 Science collection. Here you find materials specific to the topics of COVID-19 and Sars Cov-2 that have been submitted by ISCB members. This collection has three subsections for (i) scientific articles, (ii) scientific data sets and, (iii) proposals of community science projects.
  • ISCB Tutorial collection. Here you find tutorials that present basic or advanced computational biology content for biologists and computational biologists in these times of increased digital education activity. The tutorials have been (i) presented at recent ISCB conferences and (ii) suggested by ISCB members.

A SARS-CoV-2 protein interaction map reveals targets for drug repurposing
By Nevan Krogan
May 19, 2020 at 11:00 AM EDT!

Efforts to develop antiviral drugs versus COVID-19 or vaccines for its prevention have been hampered by limited knowledge of the molecular details of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This webinar will describe our efforts to address this challenge by expressing 26 of the 29 SARS-CoV-2 proteins in human cells and identifying the human proteins physically associated with each using affinity-purification mass spectrometry. Among 332 high-confidence SARS-CoV-2-human protein-protein interactions, we identified 66 druggable human proteins or host factors targeted by 69 compounds (29 FDA-approved drugs, 12 drugs in clinical trials, and 28 preclinical compounds). Within a subset of these, multiple viral assays identified two sets of pharmacological agents that displayed antiviral activity.

Registration is complimentary.
