The next meeting has been merged with the BioSysBio conference which has been scheduled for January 2007 and will now be held together with the Young Bioinformaticians' Forum at the new Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (University of Manchester) in the UK.
This web site is now maintained as a record of the YBF 2003, YBF 2004 and YBF 2005, and continues to receive about 25,000 visits per year as interested parties read the abstracts from these meetings.
If you wish to participate in this year's meeting please navigate to the BioSysBio website:
YBF 2005 was held at the prestigious Institute of Physics, 76 Portland Place, London W1B 1NT, UK. The conference opened on Friday October 21st, 2005. On the 21st of October 2005, the UK Bioinformatics Forum (UKBF), RSC Molecular Modelling Group (MMG) and the Institute of Physics jointly held the third annual Young Bioinformaticians Forum 2005 (YBF). BMC Bioinformatics was the media partner for this meeting. The YBF 2004 was a tremendous success, with over 130 attendees, while during 2005 both BioSysBio and YBF took place, jointly attracting 185 delegates. |

Like last year, the purpose of the YBF is two-fold:
|
 |
|
We are calling for abstracts and posters in the following areas of bioinformatics: * Systems Biology
|
 |
We aim to attract the best pre-PhD bioinformaticians to speak and attend the YBF from as wide an area of bioinformatics as possible. YBF is inclusive, being open to applications from current post-graduate students of all ages, from all universities and all countries.
If you are a postgraduate student, I should like to invite you to submit an abstract. If you are a supervisor, I should like to invite you to nominate a graduate student to speak at the meeting, who should then submit an abstract.
|
Please submit your abstract by Sept 15th 2005 to be considered to as a speaker or for a poster presentation. Those delegates whose abstracts are not selected for speaking slots will automatically be considered for a poster presentation. The organizers will sift through submitted abstracts and select a balanced and appropriate agenda from these submissions. Each abstract should include the surnames and initials of the authors, as well as a title, the affiliatons of the authors (University or Institute Department of School), the abstract (text only) should be no more than 300 words. |

The registration fee for students is just £50 (before Sept. 21, £75 after Sept 21), for academics, postdocs and industry scientists registration is £85 (before Sept. 21, £115 after Sept 21). This includes refreshments upon arrival, lunch and coffee breaks. Register Online
