Event: Young Bioinformaticians Forum 2004--call for abstracts

Young Bioinformaticians Forum 2004--19th October 2004--Said Business School, Oxford, UK.

On the 19th of October 2004, the RSC Molecular Modelling Group (MMG) [1] and the Oxford Bioinformatics Forum (OBF) [2], will jointly hold the second annual Young Bioinformaticians Forum 2004 (YBF). Attendance at the meeting will again also be free of charge; attendees are only liable for their travel costs. The winning speaker will receive a prize of £250 (US$450).

Last year?s meeting was a tremendous success, with over 60 attendees, and the venue will again be the prestigious Said Business School in central Oxford, which can be reached easily from the Oxford Park and Ride and is located next to the Oxford railway station.

The URL for the meeting, which contains links to all last year?s talks, is:

We aim to attract the best pre-Ph.D. bioinformaticians to speak and attend the YBF from as wide an area of bioinformatics as possible, including contributions in the areas of sequence analysis, structural bioinformatics, database design, algorithm development, ontology, molecular graphics, etc. YBF is inclusive, being open to applications from current post-graduate students of all ages, from all universities and all countries.

If you are a postgraduate ("graduate student", studying for an M.Sc. or Ph.D.) student, I should like to invite you to submit an abstract. If you are a supervisor, I should like to invite you to nominate a graduate student to speak at the meeting, who should then submit an abstract. Please submit abstracts by July 2nd 2004. The organizers will then sift through submitted abstracts and select a balanced and appropriate agenda from these submissions.

Send abstracts to:
