ISCB Hosts the Second YOUTH BIOINFORMATICS SYMPOSIUM


The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) in partnership with George Mason University; supported by George Washington University, and Georgetown University, will host the Youth Bioinformatics Symposium (YBS), Exploring Computational Biology at George Mason University in Fall 2017.

Last year nearly 100 students from the greater Washington DC area gathered for this event. This engaging one-day event introduces students to the amazing world of computational biology, allowing them to engage with and learn about three popular tools used in research in our hands-on workshop, inform them of the many career areas that bioinformatics is now appearing in, and spark the spirit of competition in our team-based mini science challenges.  We hope you join us to make YBS 2017 just as successful!

Registration will reopen when a new date in the fall is determined.
