Description
The Australian Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Society Inc or ABACBS (pronounced ˈabəkəs (abacus)) is the national scientific and professional society and peak body for bioinformatics and computational biology in Australia.
What we do ------------ The ABACBS runs a annual conference for bioinformatics and computational biology. The annual conference aims to:
offer an excellent scientific program with presentations from scientific leaders and innovators,
provide an opportunity to discuss and develop the craft of bioinformatics
provide a forum for mid- and early-career bioinformatics presentations
promote diversity across genders and career stage
foster student involvement through the COMBINE Symposium and student talks
operate sustainably and responsibly
provide a venue for relevant satellite workshops.
ABACBS supports multiple regional events, including Sydney Bioinformatics Research Symposium, diverse events in Melbourne (for example Joining the Dots: The Art and Science of Data Visualisation), and social meet ups.
ABACBS supports students via bursaries, prizes and awards, and through the COMBINE Student Sub-committee.
ABACBS acts as an advocate for bioinformatics and computational biology to government and funding bodies.
ABACBS enables us to run events responsibly through protection from liability (as an incorporated association) and insurance. It also provides banking and e-commerce.
Our History ----------- ABACBS was established in 2014 following broad consultation with the Australian bioinformatics and computational biology community with support from the Australian Bioinformatics Network.
