BCB is going virtual!!

ACM-BCB 2020: 11th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics 
Aug 30-Sep 2, 2020

https://acm-bcb.org/

In the interest of ensuring health and safety for all attendees, and in anticipation of any continued travel restrictions extending later into the year and the uncertainties that may create, we have decided to move the ACM-BCB 2020 into a completely “virtual” mode. The precise format and platform details are being worked out and we will post those details as and when they become available. The conference and associated events will still happen around the designated dates albeit in a virtual mode. All calls (for papers, workshops, tutorials, highlights, posters) are on and will proceed as per original plan. More details on the transition can be found at acm-bcb.org.

The 11th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM-BCB) is the flagship conference of the ACM SIGBio. ACM-BCB 2020 invites submissions of papers, workshops, and tutorials that address the interests of its varied audience of individuals interested in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, and Health Informatics, including graduate students, researchers and educators from academia, and researchers and practitioners from industry and government.

There is still time to submit your work to ACM-BCB!
