Meeting report on YBPW 2014 (the 3rd Young Bioinformatics PIs Workshop)

摘要

On Saturday September 20th, Drs. Xionglei He and Jian Ren hosted the 3rd Young Bioinformatics PI Workshop (YBP) at Sun Yat-Sen University. YBP was started in 2012 to encourage the scientific as well as social interactions among young principal investigators (PIs) as more young bioinformaticians start their independent career in China. The first meeting was hosted by Drs. Xiaole Shirley Liu and Yong Zhang in Tongji University with a dozen PIs participating. Last year, Dr. Yi Zhao from the National Academy of Science Computing Institute hosted the second workshop, and the number of participating PIs increased to about 20. The meeting this year attracted over 40 PIs, as well as students and postdocs.
