OVERVIEW

We would like to invite you to attend and support SMBE 2017, the annual meeting of the Society for Molecular Biology and Evolution, held from Sunday July 2nd through Thursday July 6th, 2017 in Austin, TX. This conference will be organized by faculty members of The University of Texas in Austin, on behalf of SMBE, and we will host the meeting at the JW Marriott hotel in downtown Austin.

The annual SMBE meeting is the premier event for scientists working at the interface of genomics, cellular and molecular biology, and evolutionary biology. It commonly sees 1200–1400 attendees from all over the world. In 2017, the meeting will be back on US soil for the first time in three years, after Vienna, Austria in 2015 and Gold Coast, Australia in 2016.

The research presented and discussed at SMBE meetings has become increasingly relevant to the biotech and/or biomedical industries, covering topics such as human genetics and genomics, microbiomes and microbial communities, pathogen evolution, and cancer evolution. A second theme that has grown rapidly is big data in biology. SMBE researchers routinely collect, analyze, and compare hundreds or thousands of genomes, of many different species, and they also develop the computational pipelines to handle these analysis tasks efficiently and reliably. We expect that approximately two-thirds of our attendees will be junior scientists, in particular graduate students and postdocs. These junior scientists will be excited to learn about non-academic career paths and the opportunity to network with industry representatives.
