The First International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology

Immediately preceding the 1993 National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (NCAI) in Washington D.C., a new conference series on the application of AI to molecular biology was inaugurated in neighboring Bethesda, Maryland. The First International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB-93), held 6-9 July 1993 at the Lister Hill Center of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), attracted over 200 computer scientists and biologists from 13 countries.
