COMBINE/AYRCOB Symposium 2019 – COMBINE Australia

The COMBINE/AYRCOB Symposium 2019 will be held on Monday 9^th December at Charles Perkins Centre in University of Sydney in Sydney in conjunction with GIW/ABACBS conference 2019.

Aim

The COMBINE Symposium is a student-run, non-profit conference that aims to gather a diverse group of students and ECRs who are curious, passionate and eager to learn more about bioinformatics and computational biology. We also would like to encourage networking and collaboration between attendees, providing a welcoming and friendly environment. This year we will be joining with the student group of International Conference on Genome informatics (formerly known as Genome Informatics Workshop; GIW), the Asian Young Researchers Conference on Computational and Omics Biology (AYRCOB). Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to everyone throughout the conference. The ABACBS code of conduct will apply to the symposium.
