VISUALIZING BIOLOGICAL DATA VIZBI

About the Conference

VIZBI 2012, the 3^rd international meeting on Visualizing Biological Data - and the first in a series of EMBO conferences - will be held 6-8 March 2012 at the EMBL-Heidelberg in Germany. VIZBI brings together scientists, illustrators, and designers actively using or developing computational visualization to study a diverse range of biological data.

The conference features 22 invited talks that will review the state-of-the-art and challenges in visualizing data from genomes, transcripts, proteins, cells, organisms, and populations. Prior to the meeting (5 March), there will also be tutorials on several visualization tools.

All VIZBI 2012 participants have the opportunity to present a poster describing their work. Just before your poster session, you will be given ~60 seconds and 2 PowerPoint slides to briefly introduce yourself and your poster to all VIZBI participants (details here).

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, as places are limited. If you cannot join us in Heidelberg, you have the option of virtual registration, which allows participation via streaming video and chat.
