Welcome
BBC09, the fifth Benelux Bioinformatics Conference, will be held in Liège (Belgium) on December 14-15 2009 in the Academic Room of the University of Liège.
The Benelux Bioinformatics Conference is a two-day international conference on bioinformatics. Computational methods and mathematical models are playing an ever increasing role in large-scale "omics" molecular biology, leading to the emergence of bioinformatics as a scientific discipline within Systems Biology, with major applications in health and green biotechnology.
The Benelux Bioinformatics Conference is the primary community event for bioinformatics researchers in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxemburg with excellent networking opportunities. The conference is aimed at both academic and industry researchers. Both days will feature
- Extended keynote presentations on recent breakthroughs in bioinformatics and Systems Biology
- Short presentations contributed by the participants and detailing recent advances
- Extensive poster sessions for informal discussions and networking
