Anuncio de la 5ª Conferencia en Biología Computacional (ECCB’06)
Como algunos sabreis, este weblog comenzó a publicarse justo cuando se estaba celebrando en Madrid el ECCB’05. Pues bien, este tipo de conferencias es como las fallas de Valencia, nada más terminar una ¡comienza la preparación de la siguiente edición! El próximo año se va a celebrar en Israel, entre el 10 y el 13 de Septiembre. Puede parecer que queda todavía mucho tiempo, pero ya han realizado el primer anuncio para que la gente empiece a mandar sus contribuciones para el congreso.
A continuación os incluyo el mensaje original:

* Biomedicine, epidemiology, & agriculture
* Computational genomics
* Computer-aided drug design
* Databases & database integration
* Evolution and phylogenetics
* Metabolomics
* Ontologies
* Pathways, networks, and systems
* Proteomics
