Dear all,

I'm glad to remind you of next NETTAB 2011
workshop on Clinical Bioinformatics and to send
you the related Call for submissions of posters.

A Supplement of BMC Bioinformatics will later be
published with a selection of best extended and revised
versions of contributions, both oral
communications and posters, presented at the workshop.

If you are interested, as I hope, you are also
welcome to subscribe to the low trafic list nettab-announce at istge.it.
It is a moderated mailing list, devoted
exclusively to announcements related to the NETTAB workshops, a series
of events on new ICT tools and their
applicability to biological research and
bioinformatics that are held annually in Italy.
Please subscribe at http://www.nettab.org/listsub.php .

Best regards. Paolo Romano
