NewsMay 04 08 The4th ISCB Student Council Symposium is coming up! (Nils Gehlenborg) Our MissionTo become the most dynamic and international network of young researchers in the broader disciplines of the field of Computational Biology. The Student Council (SC) continually thrives to provide opportunities for networking, career enhancement and skills development for those who aspire to become the next generation of Computational Biology Leaders. If you are a new bird in the field, let me say that the SC is a platform which will open your career horizons, you will network with some of the brightest and most highly motivated students world wide, meet with some of top high-impact-factor researchers, and give a touch of distinction to your career development strategy! Elected RolesChair The SC Chair is someone who is able to inspire a shared vision,envisioning the future and sets goals to achieve the desired results.The SC leader ensures all members know the SC goals and arecontributing to their achievement.
