The first International Society for Computational Biology Regional Latin American meeting (ISCB-LA) will take place in March 2010 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Each year the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB), through its series of conferences and meetings, brings together scientists and students from all over the world. ISCB understands the pivotal role that conferences play in the development of innovative ideas and scientific discovery. It is our goal that the ISCB Regional Conferences will provide the opportunity to every computational biologist worldwide to attend lectures in their region from world-renowned scientists, and share knowledge and discoveries with their peers. We are confident the field has and will continue to grow, and that the proper support and expansion of knowledge will translate into sustained regional innovation. We hope that through the ISCB-LA the bioinformatics and computational biology community in Latin America will continue to unify and flourish.
