Publicado por José María Fernández el 31 marzo, 2008

De parte de Josep Ll. Gelpi me acaba de llegar un correo informando que el plazo de envío de comunicaciones para la conferencia Grand Challenges in Computational Biology, organizada de forma conjunta por Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) e IRB Barcelona, ha sido ampliado hasta el próximo 7 de Abril. Además, ese día también vence el plazo para la inscripción a precio reducido en la conferencia. Para obtener más información, sólo teneis que consultar la web http://mmb.pcb.ub.es/bscirb2008, o bien escribir un correo a bscirb2008@mmb.pcb.ub.es.

A continuación os incluyo el correo original, donde se proporcionan algunos detalles adicionales sobre la conferencia:

Dear colleague,

We get in touch with you to communicate that abstract submission deadlinefor the Joint BSC - IRB Barcelona Conference "Grand Challenges inComputational Biology" has been extended till 7th April 2008. Reduced feeregistrations will be also available until that date.

Poster communications concerning Bioinformatics, Computational Biology andHigh Performance Computing are acceptable. Some of the communicationsreceived will be selected for oral presentation. Besides, PhysicalChemistry-Chemical physics (PCCP) journal will offer an economic prize tothe best poster, and also give the opportunity to submit an extended paperto be published at the journal.

This conference will take place in June 2^nd - 4^th in Barcelona (Spain).During this meeting, leaders in the field will review the current state ofthe art in computational biology, from atomistic simulation to systemsbiology. The aim is to present this field as a wide and multidisciplinaryscenario, where microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic simulation tools areused with the common objective to shed light on the behaviour of livingorganisms. Overall, this workshop will be a meeting point for computationalbiologists and computer scientists to share information on challenges incomputational biology and how these can be answered by new software andhardware solutions.

For more information, please visit http://mmb.pcb.ub.es/bscirb2008 orcontact bscirb2008@mmb.pcb.ub.es.

We hope to see you in Barcelona during this event!

Kind regards,

Josep Ll. Gelpi on behalf of BSCIRB 2008 Organizing Committee
