Dear Colleagues and Friends: The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) in Partnership with The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) and the statistical genetics community are pleased to invite the submission of papers, abstracts, panels, and posters for the 2009 AMIA Summit on Translational Bioinformatics. The Summit will be held March 15-17, 2009, in San Francisco, California, at the Grand Hyatt San Francisco.
The web page for the meeting: http://www.amia.org/meetings/stb09/ Call for Papers: Sep 01, 2008 - Sep 24, 2008 Call for Posters: Sep 01, 2008 - Sep 24, 2008 This Summit highlights the multidisciplinary nature of this research field and provides a unique opportunity to bring together the finest minds in translational bioinformatics and genetics from the academia, industry, government and non-profit sectors. It aims to forge new trans-disciplinary collaborations and identify potential avenues of research and development across all computational areas of human diseases and patient care related to genetic discoveries. We are certain that you will enjoy this occasion and be inspired. The past success of biomedical informatics in transforming clinical research and patient care is merely a glimpse to the remarkable promises it holds as genetic discoveries and bioinformatics enrich one another. I hope to see you in San Francisco in March of 2009! Dan Nicolae Track Chair, "Informatics Methods In Genetics Discoveries" Nancy Cox Senior Advisor to the Scientific Program Yves A.

Abstract Presentation: NEW FOR 2009! This classical venue for clinical and biological conferences has been provided in order to allow presentation of results otherwise destined for journal publications. Posters: Poster sessions are a component of the summit designed to offer direct access to the authors in a way not possible through podium presentations. Posters are the preferred format for presenting preliminary research results or results of small scale studies. Panels: Panel topics may be on a specific aspect of theory, application, or experience pertaining to any aspect of biomedical or health informatics, or may provide interdisciplinary viewpoints that cut across traditional themes. _______________________________________________ ISBRA-L mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dna.engr.uconn.edu/mailman/listinfo/isbra-l _______________________________________________ BBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.bioinformatics.org/mailman/listinfo/bbb
