VIZBI 2014, the 5th international meeting on Visualizing Biological Data – and the second in a series of EMBO conferences – will be held 5-7 March 2014 at the EMBL-Heidelberg in Germany. VIZBI brings together scientists, illustrators, and designers actively using or developing computational visualization to study a diverse range of biological data.

The conference features 21 invited talks that review the state-of-the-art and challenges in visualizing data from genomes, transcripts, proteins, cells, organisms, and populations. Prior to the meeting (4 March), there will also tutorials on several visualization tools.

All VIZBI 2014 participants have the opportunity to present a poster describing their work. Just before your poster session, you will be given about 60 seconds to briefly introduce yourself and your poster to all VIZBI participants (details ).

Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and places are limited. If you cannot join us in Heidelberg, you have the option of virtual registration, which allows participation via streaming video and chat. A limited number of CPP Registration Fellowships are available that effectively allow free registration, for details see the registration page.
