Conference program. | ||||||||
Hosted by: International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI, Kenya), International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE, Kenya), Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS, LIRMM Montpellier, France), African Society of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ASBCB). | ||||||||
This meeting aims to provide a forum for discussions and, potentially, the development of future collaborations amongst bioinformaticians, mathematicians, computer scientists and biologists, whose research focuses on the bioinformatics of African pathogens and their vectors. The meeting will also offer young and emerging scientists from Africa the opportunity to meet scientists from the international community whose research may be of relevance to their own work. | ||||||||
Conference:
May 28-29-30-31. Software and database demonstrations: June 1-2. The conference will include plenary talks given by invited speakers from various part of the world, and researchers from Africa. The plenary speakers listed here have confirmed their attendance: |

Oral and poster presentations will be sought in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology with relevance to African disease vectors and pathogens. Conference topics include: | ||||||||
|
||||||||
Graduate students, young investigators and all African researchers involved in the field are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract describing their work. The Program Committee will choose selected abstracts for oral presentations. Those whose abstracts are not chosen for oral presentations will be able to present their work as posters. Grants will be given to African researchers and students to cover travel and local expenses, with priority for oral presentations and posters. | ||||||||
