InCoB 2006 and its Objectives:
InCoB, the International Conference in
Bioinformatics is a major meeting in the general
area of Bioinformatics and Computational
Biology, and is among the first such meetings
being organized in India by the Department of
BioTechnology (DBT). We hope to bring together
the extensive and diverse groups working in the
country along with leading researchers in the
area from across the world. It also includes the
annual conference of the Asia Pacific
Bioinformatics Network (APBioNet). This is
their fifth Annual International Conference.
Previous InCoB meetings were
-
InCoB 2002 at
Bangkok, Thailand,
-
InCoB 2003 at
Penang, Malaysia,
-
InCoB 2004 at
Auckland, New Zealand
-
InCoB 2005 at
Busan, South Korea
This provides for an international forum that
will present cutting-edge computational biology
applications and findings on interdisciplinary
research such as molecular evolution, health,
agriculture, microbes and tropical diseases and
on sequence and structure analysis. The main
objective of the InCoB is to provide a platform
for experts and budding bioinformaticians to
develop and apply computational methods for
solving biological varying problems and to
discuss and exchange ideas and thoughts on the
development of bioinformatics.
Over 1000 participants from across the globe are
expected to participate in the conference
including students, academicians, pharmaceutical
companies and other corporates.
