The Ninth Annual International Workshop on Bioinformatics and Systems Biology will take place from July 27-29, 2009 at Boston University. This student-focused event is part of a collaborative educational program involving the BU Graduate Program in Bioinformatics, the International Research Training Group (IRTG) in Berlin and the Joint Bioinformatics Education Program of Kyoto University and University of Tokyo. Held every year since 2001, it provides doctoral students an opportunity to present and discuss their research objectives, approaches and results in the emerging fields of genomics, systems biology and bioinformatics. Please visit the official site for more information.

Organization of each aspect of this symposium is controlled by the entire Bioinformatics Program graduate student community, including the selection of a theme, proposal of candidate speakers, and ultimately voting for invitees. This year’s theme of Bioinformatics and Human Health was at the forefront of many students’ minds. Join us to hear a panel of scientific innovators from the academic and private sectors share their work and ideas as they relate to this highly important field. The Symposium is free and open to the general public. Please visit the official page for a complete schedule and other details.
