Call for Workshops and Tutorials



We invite scientists and professionals working in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology to submit high-quality proposals for tutorials, workshops or mini-courses (tutorial program) to take place virtually as part of ISCB-Africa ASBCB 2021.

The workshop and tutorial sessions aim to provide an opportunity to discuss current and emergent topics on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. These sessions can be both 6 hour sessions or 2.5 hour sessions to take place on the 7th June 2021.

Workshop and tutorials will be held in a virtual training environment.  Workshop and tutorial leaders should be prepared to teach using online tools such as Zoom.
