Conference & Expo 2011
Shenzhen, China
On behalf of conference committee, it is really our great honor to invite you to attend the Bio-IT APAC Conference & Expo 2011 to be held in Sheraton Shenzhen Futian Hotel, Shenzhen, China, July 4 to 7, 2011.
As the organizer, BGI has being one of the world’s biggest genomic centers, owns the next-generation sequencing platform and computing platform served as the solid foundation for large-scale bioinformatics processing. Based on high-performance computing and cloud computing, BGI computing platform is serving more and more areas and being an integrated service platform composed of versatile software and powerful hardware.
We believe that, the first Bio-IT APAC event will explore a new way to exchange information and cut-edge IT technologies that are driving biomedical research and the drug development. By giving exhibitions about innovative healthcare information technology, biomedicine and pharmaceutical, this conference provides splendid way of communication for enterprises related. Additionally, four main sessions of Infrastructure, Cloud computing, Bioinformatics and eHealth are included.
An elite group of life science and informatics professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, innovators, researchers and clinicians will share their ideas freely and sparkle the development of Bio-IT science.
Your participation will be among the highlights of the conference. It would be highly appreciated if you would like to attend and respond to us at your earliest convenience.
