ECCB (European Conference on Computational Biology)
EMBL-EBI will have an exhibition stand at ECCB'12 (booth 6). Please visit us if you are interested in:
- finding out more about EMBL-EBI's databases, software tools and bioinformatics research
- careers, PhDs and postdoc positions
- bioinformatics training (both hands-on training courses and online training)
- joining our industry programme
Our exhibition stand will be located next to ELIXIR (booth 5) - a project that aims to construct and operate a sustainable infrastructure for biological information in Europe to support life science research and its translation to medicine and the environment, the bio-industries and society.
ECCB'12 will bring together scientists working across a variety of disciplines, including bioinformatics, computational biology, biology, medicine, and systems biology. The conference provides the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge research in computational biology and bioinformatics and to network with other members of the scientific community. ECCB'12 is organised in association with the 10th Basel Computational Biology conference - the annual scientific symposium of SIB (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics).
