International Society for Computational Biology

International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) is a society for scientists and researchers who use computers to study living organisms, like plants and animals. Computational biology involves using computers and math to create models and simulations to better understand organisms and their environments. ISCB hosts conferences and meetings, publishes journals and other materials, and provides educational opportunities for scientists who use computers for biological research. ISCB also helps give awards to recognize the best accomplishments in computational biology. Computational biology can help us understand how diseases spread and how to create better treatments for diseases.
