ISCB-Latin America, SoIBio and EMBnet joint Bioinformatics Conference 2018
Abstract
The major aim of the ISCB-Latin America, SOIBIO and EMBnet Joint Bioinformatics Conference 2018 is to inspire and foster collaborations between regional scientists and students to advance research in the areas of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The scientific program showcases exceptional keynote speakers, original research scientific talks, and poster sessions. ISCB-LA SOIBIO EMBnet 2018 will attract top regional and international scientists in the life sciences and offers a strong scientific program focused on scientific discovery in diverse subject areas through bioinformatics/computational biology. Topics of interest include sequence analysis, evolution and phylogeny, comparative genomics, protein structure, molecular and supramolecular dynamics, molecular evolution, gene regulation and transcriptomics, RNA biology, proteomics, systems biology, ontologies, biological networks, databases and data integration, text and data mining and information extraction, and human health. Some remarks: 1. The Congress was successfully held in the headquarters of the city of Vi–a del Mar at UNAB, which offered the necessary conditions for the organization of 4 workshops and 1 Congress that had a high number of participants. 2. This congress counted with the participation of scientists from 13 different countries of America and Europe, which promoted a high level of international invited speakers. 3. The annual meeting of the SOIBIO in Chile was successful done, because of this, the next congress in 2019 will be celebrated in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay. 4. From a scientific point of view, this congress allowed us to make new connections with several international labs in order to organize research stays for our doctoral and postdocs students. 5. New collaboration networks were generated between the CBIB members and world-class scientistsÕ group, among those that stand out The Broad Institute (USA), UK and Spain groups.
