Research in Computational Molecular Biology (RECOMB) is a well established international conference in a dynamic field of science bridging computer science and biology. In 2004 the conference will be held in San Diego and promises to be the biggest and best yet with over 600 attendees expected. The meeting consists of keynotes from the best scientists in the field and the latest research findings presented as both oral papers and posters.

The RECOMB Conference series was founded in 1997 to provide a scientific forum for theoretical advances in computational biology and their applications in molecular biology and medicine. The origins of the conference came from the mathematical and computational side of the field, and there remains to be a certain focus on computational advances. However, the effective use of computational techniques to biological innovation is also an important aspect of the conference.

The conference program includes between 30 and 40 contributed papers, that are selected by an international program committee with around 30 experts during a rigorous review. The conference series aims at attracting research contributions in all areas of computational molecular biology.
