ISMB/ECCB 2009 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.
Posters submitted to ISMB/ECCB 2009 may cover any area of computational biology. We also encourage submission 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. Posters must include original work that is unpublished or published after August 1, 2008.
Posters submitted for ISMB/ECCB 2009 will be reviewed by the poster selection committee and notification of acceptance will be provided to the corresponding author by March 27, 2009.
Posters submitted by March 5, 2009 may be eligible to apply for ISMB/ECCB 2009 Conference Travel Fellowships. Posters submitted as part of the late poster submission deadline are NOT eligible to apply for ISMB/ECCB 2009 Conference Travel Fellowship Support.
All poster abstracts must be submitted using the conference submission site by the abstract deadline: Wednesday, March 5, 2009 (You have until 11.59 p.m. in the time zone of your choice). Space for posters is limited, and while we will make every effort to accommodate all interested groups, we advise you to submit your poster well before the deadline.

You must submit two versions of your poster abstract: a 50-word abstract that will be printed in the conference program and a one-page abstract (~250 words/ PDF format) that will be posted on the conference web site. The abstract should not contain your title/position or any personal information (e.g. affiliation). There is a maximum of one poster per presenting author. The presenting author of a poster must be present at the conference and be available at the poster session to which their poster is assigned. Any author may submit to various conference tracks in addition to submitting a poster for review.

ISMB/ECCB 2009 will not offer tables for laptop computer demos during the poster session. If you would like to demonstrate your software, you are encouraged to submit an application for Technology Track.
All abstracts will be considered a "personal communication" to the conference attendees.
Abstracts will not be published in the proceedings, but will appear in the program and on the conference website.
