HSCBB12
The 7th Conference of the Hellenic Society for Computational Biology & Bioinformatics – HSCBB12 – is co-organized by the Hellenic Society for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (HSCBB) jointly with the Institutes of Computer Science and Molecular Biology and Biotechnology of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) and the Hellenic Center for Marine Research (HCMR). HSCBB12 will take place at FORTH in October 4 - 6, 2012. As an outreach activity of the HSCBB, a satellite Workshop on
Biodiversity entitled: New DNA technologies and informatics tools for studying marine biodiversity and adaptation with training lectures and panel discussions will also be
organized (October 1-3, 2012) at HCMR. The Conference, which is the major annual event of HSCBB, aims at being a forum for researchers in the relevant fields from Greece, Cyprus and other countries to present their work and creatively interact for the establishment of scientific networks and collaborations. |
