By the time scientists arrive in San Diego in December 2015, an estimated 40,000 papers on cell biology will have been published since the 2014 meeting. Even more data will be available on imaging, protein structures, genomics, gene expression, and more. Our challenge is to convert this information into meaningful knowledge to understand how cells work. The 2015 ASCB meeting overarching theme is about making connections at different scales, from the intracellular level to the tissue level, to the organism level all the way up to the macrocosmic level, all in the light of big data and information integration. This integration will help us ask the right questions and find answers to the challenging problems in medicine, living systems, and ecosystems. Cell biology is increasingly relevant not only to those who think of themselves as cell biologists but also to more specialized researchers in neuroscience, immunology, cancer biology, synthetic biology, biophysics, molecular medicine, and more. ...

BioWareDB.org is an attempt at collecting an exhaustive hyperlinked database links to the vast amounts of freely available and commercial bioinformatics and biocomputing software. The database consists of records obtained from automated harvesting of online repositories of software, from journals delving with bioinformatics software and from currated manual entries. The database is updated on a bi-monthly basis and links to the software are verified. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN) is a national initiative to advance biomedical research through data sharing and online collaboration. Our work focuses directly on the biomedical research community’s unique, data-intensive sharing and analysis needs, which are particularly evident in fields such as biomedical imaging and genetics. BIRN provides a user-driven, software-based framework for research teams to share significant quantities of data – rapidly, securely and privately – across geographic distance and/or incompatible computing systems. We also offer data-sharing software tools specific to biomedical research, best practices references, expert advice and other resources. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
BioPortal is a Web-based application for accessing and sharing ontologies. BioPortal provides functionality to browse and search across all ontologies, supports views/slims/value sets and mappings between ontologies. [Information of the supplier]
iCBBE is an annual conference in China since 2007. This conference was originated by Prof. Kuo-Chen Chou from the Gordon Life Science Institute, USA and was held in Wuhan, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu from 2007 to 2013. Each year there are 100 - 500 attendees from Asia, Europe, America, etc., and there has been quite a few well known experts giving plenary speeches. The 8th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering (iCBBE 2014) will be held from September 20-22, 2014 in Suzhou, China. You are invited to submit papers and participate in our academic exchange. ... [Information of the supplier]
One of the main objectives of the HBP is to create and operate six Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Platforms, which are the core of the emerging HBP research infrastructure for brain research. Starting 30 March 2016, the scientific community worldwide can begin exploring the initial versions of the six HBP ICT Platforms. The Platforms embody the key objectives of the HBP, to gather and disseminate data describing the brain, to simulate and build models of the brain, to develop brain-inspired computing and robotics, and to create a global scientific community around the developing research infrastructure. The Platforms consist of prototype hardware, software tools, databases, programming interfaces, and initial data-sets, which will be refined and expanded on an on-going basis in close collaboration with end-users. The development of the Platforms has been the result of an extensive multidisciplinary effort involving more than 750 scientific collaborators and engineers from 114 institutions in 24 countries. The Platforms are as follows: the Neuroinformatics Platform, the Brain Simulation Platform, the High Performance Analytics and Computing Platform, the Medical Informatics Platform, the Neuromorphic Computing Platform and the Neurorobotics Platform. ...

We wholeheartedly welcome you to the 55th Annual Meeting of the GV-SOLAS and 17th IGTP training in Cologne. Aging research is a key focus area represented in Cologne with the Max Planck Institute and CECAD, the Cluster of Excellence of the University of Cologne. How can animals be used to investigate the causes of the aging process and to develop successful therapies to treat age-related diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke or neurodegeneration? Such translational approaches regarding aging research will be a focus of the GV-Meeting 2017. Current developments in the field of targeted genetic modifications lead to expectations that the spectrum of genetically modified experimental animals with harmful phenotypes will increase and present the field of Laboratory Animal Science with new challenges. Initially limited to a few species, such genetic changes are now possible in a variety of organisms and can be performed quickly and with little expertise required. The conference will provide a platform for a lively exchange in this area. An integral part of our meeting in the form of seminars and workshops include classic laboratory animal issues such as veterinary medicine, nutrition, hygiene management, the application of the 3Rs principles, new developments and the practical implementation of the Protection of Animals Act and the General Administrative Directive for the Execution of the Protection of Animals Act, aspects of training and, not least, public relations. The always controversial debate about the the use of laboratory animals in research continues to have great social relevance. In this meeting, we want to provide insight in ways to support the acceptance of animal research using scientifically based justifications and logical, reasonable answers. I look forward to an exciting congress and to welcome you to the city of Cologne with its 2000 year history. ... [Information of the supplier]
