Welcome Message
The International Bioinformatics workshop (IBW) series aims to promote scientific communication for Chinese researchers on the cutting-edge progress in bioinformatics, computational and systems biology, genomics, and proteomics. As a major annual event in the Chinese bioinformatics community, the workshop series have attracted over 2,000 students and postdoctoral fellows in 8 previous successful meetings, which took place at Fudan University (2003), Tsinghua University (2004), Jilin University (2005), Central South University (2006), Shandong University (2007) and Yunnan University (2008), Soochow University (2009), and Wuhan University (2010), respectively.
IBW2011, organized by the Cell Engineering Research Center and the School of Biomedical Engineering, Fourth Military Medical University, co-organized by the Chinese Academy of Engineering, will be held from July 11th to 13th, 2011, in Xi'an, China. The workshop is sponsored by NSFC, FMMU, and by the Ministry of Education, China. About 20 speakers from both domestic and overseas have agreed to present at the workshop.
Xi’anis one of the most attractive historical cities. Strolling in street of city, one will get the feeling of walking through a big historical museum, in which one can witness the Eighth Wonder in the world- “terra-cotta warriors and horses” of Qin dynasty, the Big and Small Wild Goose Pagodas of Tang dynasty and the city wall of Ming dynasty. We believe that our kind receptions will make this trip a colorful and unforgettable one for you.
Looking forward to meeting you in Xi’an on July 11th -13th, 2011.
Yours faithfully,
Chairman: Zhinan Chen, Ph.D.
Ying Xu, Ph.D
