Special Sessions
ISMB/ECCB 2009 will feature Special Session presentations throughout the conference June 29 – July 2. Special Sessions have the purpose of introducing the scientific community to relevant scientific issues and topics that are typically not within the focus of an ISMB meeting. Preliminary program information on Special Sessions is noted below.
