SYMBIO 2008 is a 1-day event that is organized by the Singapore Chapter of the International Society for Computational Biology. The event aims to achieve a 3-fold objective – to provide an invaluable opportunity for industry professionals to present and share their challenges, to provide collaboration opportunities for academia, scientists and professionals and to provide an avenue of exposure for students who are interested in the areas of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. At the same time, it is hoped that the symposium will provide an opportunity for students to get to listen to and to understand and have a feel of the current market trend in the industry as well as future study and research opportunities should they decide to further their studies after graduation. Speakers from NUS, NTU and research institutes including Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases, Bioinformatics Institute and A*Star-I2R will be present for the event.

This symposium aims to bring together the industry, research institutes as well education institutes so that a future generation of computational biology scientists may be nurtured by spurring their interests within the different areas in bioinformatics and life sciences.
