FOSTERING RELATIONSHIPS AND INCREASING
GLOBAL AWARENESS
The ISCB Affiliates program is designed to forge links between
ISCB and regional non profit groups involved in the advancement of bioinformatics. These include professional societies, centers, institutes and networks that involve
researchers from various institutions and/or organizations
within a defined geographic region. The Affiliates Committee
plays an integral role in the process as we continue to further the mission by fostering relationships with these groups. Every 3 years the Affiliates Committee elects a representative who sits on the ISCB Board of Directors to communicate and represent the interests of affiliated societies (currently
Lonnie Welch).
ISCB welcomed four new affiliated groups in 2012 and early 2013: Bioclues.org (Indian Bioinformatics
regional network), the Great Lakes Bioinformatics Consortium, the
Hellenic Society for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, and SolBio (Iberoamerican Society for Bioinformatics).
As of May 30, 2013, 23 confirmed affiliated groups spanning the
globe. ISCB and the Affiliates Committee continue to develop ways
to engage these groups to enhance the networking for all of our
members around the world.
