Title German Conference on Bioinformatics (GCB2000) Organiser Erich Bornberg-Bauer, EML, Heidelberg   Date 5 to 7 October 2000 Venue University of Heidelberg, Germany  Details The conference is one of the oldest (established 1985) and most traditional conferences in the rapidly expanding field of Bioinformatics and Computational  Biology. The main focus of the conference is on current research in the theory and application of methods in that complement experimental research in the molecular biosciences. It seeks to expand its focus to various relevant aspects of computational biology such as theoretical biology, computational biochemistry, user-oriented representation and data-mining of biological data etc. This year the focus will be on the following subjects: Structures, Docking and Folding, Biopolymer and Genome Analysis, Molecular Evolution and Theoretical Biology, Computation of Biochemical Pathways, and Acquiring and Biological Data.

Title Drug Discovery Informatics Organiser Center for Business Intelligence (CBI), USA Date 16 to 17 October 2000 Venue Adam's Mark Hotel, Philadelphia, PA, USA Details According to a May 1999 article in Applied Clinical Trials, "IT (information technology) could save pharmaceutical manufacturers millions of dollars by enabling drug development time to be slashed by as much as 25%." To achieve these goals, how can you generate computational data to integrate biological, chemical and clinical information to optimise drug discovery? How do you manipulate and visualise gene expression, sequence, proteomic and pharmacogenomic data to enhance drug discovery? How do you mine databases for novel concepts to track information flows and recognise early knowledge trends in drug discovery? This conferences will learn you how to integrate, visualise and manage data to accelerate drug discovery and development from large pharmaceutical companies.

Title IBC's Proteomics, Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics Organiser IBC USA Conferences, Inc. , USA Date 16 to 19 October 2000 Venue The Wigwam Resort, Litchfield Park, AZ, USA  Details IBC announces Three Annual Symposiums in One Event! IBC's Proteomics: Rapid Target Identification & Validation symposium will be held on October 16-17, 2000. The Functional Genomics: From Genome to Function symposium will be held on October 16-17, 2000. New and existing functional genomics technologies will be examined as well as the challenge of integrating the myriad approaches from both a process engineering and corporate strategic partnering perspective. The Bioinformatics: Genome Analysis and Annotation symposium will take place on October 18-19, 2000. The aim of this conference is to show some of the latest research in the field of genome analysis and data integration. More info http://www.ibcusa.com/2513

 

Title Pacific Symposium for Biocomputing (PSB-2001) Organiser PSB, ISCB et al.  Date 3 to 7 January 2001 Venue Sheraton Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA  Details PSB provides a forum for the presentation of work in databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualisation, and other computational methods, as applied to biological problems, with emphasis on applications in data-rich areas of molecular biology. PSB intends to attract a balanced combination of computer scientists and biologists, presenting significant original research, demonstrating computer systems, and facilitating formal and informal discussions on topics of importance to computational biology.   More info http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/psb/
