abstract: The 2008 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology will mark the 5th year anniversary of this event. The conference will provide an excellent venue to present the latest advances in computational intelligence based methods for bioinformatics, computational biology and bioengineering problems, as well as invaluable opportunities to network with other researchers in this exciting field.

abstract: Focuses on the experiences of early adopters of Electronic Health Records; new tools to bridge existing medical record, research, and public health surveillance systems; and new approaches and data to incorporate into health record system design.

abstract: The program will include: Best Practices Virtual Screening Workshop chaired by Barry Hardy (Douglas Connect), Docking & Scoring, chaired by Chaya Duraiswami (GlaxoSmithKline), Application of MM-PBSA Free Energy Methods in Drug Discovery, chaired by Judith Lalonde (Bryn Mawr College), Accurate Calculation of pKas, chaired by Paul Labute (Chemical Computing Group), In Silico-based Chemogenomics, chaired by Fabrice Moriaud (MEDIT); PDB Ligands: Analysing their Structure & Binding Data, chaired by Marc Nicklaus (National Institutes of Health); Predictive ADME, chaired by Anthony E. Klon (Pharmacopeia Drug Discovery) and Predictive Toxicology, chaired by Artem Cherkasov (University of British Columbia).

abstract: The Program Committee would like to invite you to participate in the Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Symposium (BIOT-2008) on October 17-18 in Arlington, Texas. BIOT-2008 is the fifth in a series of successful symposia held yearly. Starting from the first symposium in 2004, BIOT has attracted participants from all over the United States, Canada and outside North America.

Research and development in biotechnology requires the collaboration of scientists and engineers in the fields of biology, chemistry, computer science, chemical engineering, and electrical engineering. This symposium brings together scientists, engineers and scholars from relevant fields with practitioners from industry in order to help each group to understand progress made in the area as a whole.

abstract: To tackle these illnesses, the cooperation of modelers, mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, and others, and of researchers from the medical community is absolutely essential. Modeling is important because it gives important insight into the method of treatment. In the case of HIV/AIDS, for example, mathematical modeling indicated that a combination of both protease inhibitors and reverse transcriptase inhibitors would be far more effective than any one of these two drugs. The purpose of this conference is to bring all the people working in the area of epidemiology under one roof and encourage mutual interaction.

abstract: The 66th Annual Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference is a three day event featuring lecture and poster presentations covering a wide range of subject matter of interest to researchers in chemistry, physics and structural biology.

abstract: Welcome to the sixth annual Rocky Mountain Bioinformatics Conference, a meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). The organizers hope that you enjoy the program, and find the conference a productive opportunity to meet researchers, students and industrial users of bioinformatics technology. We think we have the best program yet, offering a remarkable cross-section of bioinformatics research.

The Rocky series began six years ago as a regional conference, and has grown into an international program with a spotlight on regional development in the computational biosciences. The presenters of the Rocky conference are scientists representing a broad spectrum of universities, industrial enterprises, government laboratories, and medical libraries from around the world. The meeting is a chance to get to know your colleagues near and far, seek collaborative opportunities, and find synergies that can drive our field forward.
