Also happening in Sydney – one day prior to VIZBI – is SBRS, a free one-day symposium at the University of Sydney (Tuesday, 13 June 2017). SBRS features two excellent international speakers, Professor Liran Carmel from Israel and Professor Geoff Barton from the UK. There are plenty of spots for oral presentation, fast-forward presentations, and poster presentations – with several prizes to win. To encourage participants from regional NSW and ACT, this year SBRS will offer a number of travel bursaries (up to $500 each) to SBRS abstract submitters who reside in regional NSW and ACT. The vision is to make SBRS a truly state-wide event for the benefit of all researchers, partitioners, and students in the field of bioinformatics and computational biology. For more information about SBRS, and to submit an abstract of your work, go to http://www.abacbs.org/sbrs2017. The abstract submission deadline is 22 May 2017.
