Topic summary
International Society for Computational Biology
The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) is a scholarly society for researchers in computational biology and bioinformatics. The society was founded in 1997 to provide a stable financial home for the Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) conference and has grown into a larger society that aims to advance understanding of living systems through computation and to communicate scientific advances worldwide.
In addition to ISMB, the society also organizes a growing number of smaller, more regionally or topically focused conferences and presents multiple annual scientific achievement awards, including the Overton Prize and the ISCB Senior Scientist Awards.
