HUDSON, Massachusetts--April 2003--The Bioinformatics Organization (a.k.a. Bioinformatics.Org) announces its incorporation with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Earlier this year, Bioinformatics.Org incorporated as a non-profit organization. The Board of Directors includes (in alphabetical order) J.W. Bizzaro (University of Massachusetts Lowell), Marcos Oliveira de Carvalho (Federal University of Santa Maria, Brasil), Martin Kucej (Comenius University, Slovak Republic), Joseph Landman (Scalable Informatics), Mark Luo (OpenEvents.com), Holly Miller (Stony Brook University), Peter D. St. Onge (Proteomics Research Center, University of Toronto), Jon K. Stewart (Larsen & Gruber LLC) and Gary H. Van Domselaar (Genome Canada). Members of the Board were selected by founder J.W. Bizzaro for their prior contributions to the Organization. Officers include J.W. Bizzaro (president and chairman), Gary H. Van Domselaar (vice president), and Mark Luo (treasurer). The Organization is legally named, ``Bioinformatics Organization, Inc.''
About Bioinformatics Organization, Inc.:
The Bioinformatics Organization, Inc. (a.k.a. Bioinformatics.Org) was founded in 1998 to create a collaborative environment for bioinformatic practitioners and neophytes throughout the world. The Organization provides these individuals, as well as the public at large, free and open access to the methods and materials used in bioinformatics research, development (i.e., computer programming), and education. And we provide a permanent location for the generation of such, all without regard for nationality, education or affiliation. By doing this, the Organization helps to lower the barrier to entering and participating in bioinformatics, as access to commercial resources can be prohibitively expensive for those working individually, in small groups, at poorly-funded institutions or in developing nations. Currently, there are more than 6,000 members and 100 hosted projects registered at the website (http://Bioinformatics.Org), making the Bioinformatics Organization, Inc. one of the largest associations in the field.
