BENELUX BIOINFORMATICS CONFERENCE |
 |
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED
The second Benelux BioInformatics Conference (BBC) 2006 “Bioinformatics for Food and Health” will take place on the 17th and 18th of October 2006 at the WICC in Wageningen (see www.wicc-wir.nl), the Netherlands.
BBC2006 is a two-day meeting for people interested in how bioinformatics is developing as integral part of science to forward food and health, biology and genetics with the help of IT. Primarily aimed at researchers in the Benelux, BBC2006 welcomes all interested parties to hear and see state-of-the-art bioinformatics research and to discuss progress and challenges for future bioinformatics notably, but not exclusively, in food and health.
Key speakers:
- Eugene Koonin, NCBI, USA
- Winston Hide, SANBI, South Africa
- Yves Moreau, University of Leuven, Belgium
- Michael Müller, Wageningen University
- Willem Stiekema, Centre for BioSystems Genomics
- Roland Siezen, CMBI Nijmegen/NIZO Ede
Both days will feature 3 longer (40 minutes) keynote sessions, several short (20 minutes) contributed sessions and ample time to network during poster sessions and breaks. The short contributions will be selected from the poster abstracts by the scientific committee. The first day will be mainly devoted to bioinformatics in relation to nutrigenomics in the broad sense, while the second day will focus on pharmacogenomics in an even broader sense. Participants are free to attend only one day or the full two days. Registration is open at the fee of 25 € (covering abstract book, scientific program, coffee, tea).
