NIH ODSS to Host Sessions at Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology Annual Conference

Tuesday, July 13, 2021

Sessions to be held July 27-28

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS) will host a two-day special track of sessions at the 29th Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) and the 20th European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB). The ODSS-led sessions will be held July 27-28 with the full conference scheduled for July 25-30.

The special track will include sessions on the NIH Cloud Platform Interoperability (NCPI) efforts, FAIR data and repositories, diversity in data science training and research, open research software, reproducibility and reuse, and bridging international efforts in data science.
