EMBO Workshop on Visualizing Biological Data

The first EMBO Workshop on Visualizing Biological Data (VizBi) will take place from March 3d to 5th, 2010, at the EMBL’s new Advanced Training Centre in Heidelberg, Germany

The goal of the workshop is to bring together, for the first time, researchers developing and using visualization systems across all areas of biology, including genomics, sequence analysis, macromolecular structures, systems biology, and imaging (including microscopy and magnetic resonance imaging). We have assembled an authoritative list of 29 invited speakers who will present an exciting program, reviewing the state-of-the-art and perspectives in each of these areas. The primary focus will be on visualizing processed and annotated data in their biological context, rather than on processing of raw data.

The workshop is limited in the total number participants, and each participant is normally required to present a poster and to give a ’fastforward’ presentation about their work (limited to 30 seconds and 1 slide).
