Conference “Bioinformatics Tools and Techniques for Allergy and Infectious Disease Research”, June 7 to 9, 2010, Moscow






ISTC is co sponsoring, in collaboration with the US National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a joint conference on “Bioinformatics Tools and Techniques for Allergy and Infectious Disease Research” to be held in Moscow, June 7 to 9, 2010.
The joint conference will provide a unique opportunity for communication and scientific exchange between the NIAID and research institutions of the Russian Federation and Former Soviet Union countries. The conference will focus on bioinformatics and medical and clinical informatics research topics as they relate to allergy and infectious diseases. The purpose of the conference is to showcase the initiatives of each organization and identify touch points for future scientific collaborations.
The conference will consist of a single track with oral and poster presentations and will close with a round table discussion that will enable participants to share their collaborative experiences and identify and discuss mutual areas of interest. The goals of the round table discussion are to foster more effective communications between the NIAID and the conference participants and to provide participants with an opportunity to discuss novel research initiatives and collaborations with the NIAID.

You are invited to submit an abstract for review


The deadline for abstract submission is Friday, March 12, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. (MSK - Moscow Standard Time)
