The 2005 Course of the International School of Advanced BioMedicine and
BioInformatics aims at presenting advanced research in the always more
interwined fields of BioMedicine and BioInformatics, and to foster
collaborations among Participants. Its main focus will be on the contributions
of Genomics, BioInformatics and Biotechnology to Molecular Medicine. Invited
Speakers will give seminars on the topics chosen as School themes and will
organize the work of Students with the support of Tutors. The 2005 Course,
which addresses PhD Students and junior Researchers who want to get exposed to
the forefront of research activity in the field of Molecular BioMedicine,
Medical Genomics and Medical BioInformatics, will be held in the beautiful
surroundings of the Island of Pantelleria.

Two kinds of participants are welcome: Students (Participants who are expected
to do afternoon coursework and take a final examination) and Auditors
(Participants who are not interested in taking the final examination). Up to 60
Students and a limited number of additional Auditors will be admitted. Deadline
for application is April 25, 2005. Applicants must include a short curriculum
vitae with a selected list of publications and specify two professors whom
letters of recommendation will be asked to, if deemed necessary. If they wish
to present their original work, they must send a max-one-page abstract (A4
format Times New Roman 12). All contributions will be presented as 70cm
(height) x 50cm (width) posters. A pdf version of each poster will be published
on the school web site. Admission to the School will be notified by April 30,
2005.

Registration fee is 800 Euro. The fee covers full-board treatment in comfortable
double rooms, transfer Pantelleria airport-Conference site-Pantelleria airport,

equipped with all conference materials. Special areas are reserved to students
for the afternoon coursework and study. The island of Pantelleria can be
reached from Trapani, Roma and Milano by plane or from Trapani by ferry.
