ISMB 2008 Poster Chair: Marco Punta
ISMB 2008 will bring together scientists from a wide range of disciplines, including molecular biology, biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics. We are soliciting high-quality research posters in any aspect of computational biology.
Posters are intended to convey a scientific result and are not advertisements for commercial software packages. There will be a
separate space for
Industry Posters in the exhibition area. A poster that is judged by the conference organizers to be an advertisement will be subject to removal without notice.
*New for 2008:
a) Public Institutions (Not for profit) are able to submit their research findings as part of the call for posters. This will be displayed with in the topic area of Institutional Research.
b) ISMB encourages the submissions of purely experimental work and experimental posters should be submitted to the category (noted below) most accurately reflecting the area of this work and will be displayed accordingly.
c) Reviews: Individuals may choose to submit a poster presenting a review of a specific field or technique. These submissions do not need to contain original work from the author and are intended to be an introduction for individuals not familiar with the field or technique. These review are not meant to be advertisements (e.g. it is not acceptable that the poster is an advertisement for a book or other type of commercial publication)
