Important Update Regarding ATTIS
Due to concerns about the imminent appearance of COVID-19 in Alabama, it seems prudent to reduce potential community exposures by converting tomorrow’s 2020 Annual Translational and Transformative Informatics (ATTIS) meeting to virtual participation and attendance. We are informaticians, after all, so if anyone can adapt to this, we can.
Attendees:
- If you were planning to travel to UAB, please adjust your plans accordingly
- The conference will be web-cast as planned at: https://uab.zoom.us/j/446190311
- Paid registrants can still pick up their lunch any time between noon and 1 p.m. in the foyer of Cudworth Hall.
Poster Presenters:
Posters will be presented orally from 12:00 to 1:30 via Zoom. Each speaker will have 10 minutes to present, 7 minutes to speak and 3 minutes of Q&A. If you are available, you present directly from your poster, or you may prepare a brief slide presentation. Please send us your poster file and/or slide presentation. We have sent details and instructions to poster presenters.
Thanks in advance for your patience, understanding and cooperation.
UAB Informatics Institute invites you to attend the 4th Annual Translational and Transformative Informatics Symposium (ATTIS)! This year's theme “Informatics Research to Improve Biomedical Research.” ATTIS 2020 offers faculty, postdoc trainees, and graduate students an opportunity to report progress on the latest informatics research and applications in biomedical sciences at UAB. Keynote presentation, scientific talks, flash informatics tool presentation, educational panel, single-cell analysis and data science toolkit tutorials, poster presentations, and informatics gateways will be offered.
