BITS '09 - Sixth Annual Meeting of the Bioinformatics Italian Society
BITS 2009 aims at:
presenting some of the most recent and interesting bioinformatics achievements
presenting the most interesting achievements of Italian bioinformatics research
presenting a landscape of Italian bioinformatics research
allowing young researchers to present their work in a collaborative and supporting atmosphere
training young researchers on the most innovative tools, technologies and methods in the field
allowing for as much discussion as possible
The workshop will therefore include:
keynote lectures
oral communications
posters presentations
tutorials
The workshop is also meant to build a friendly atmosphere among participants, enabling a better reciprocal knowledge. It will therefore also include several social events:
welcome reception
guided tour of the old city center
social dinner
Invited Lectures
