The 4^th Congress of BioSoft (BioSoft-2012) will be held concurrently with BIT’s 5^th World Annual Protein and Peptide Conference . In recent years, BioSoft has grown significantly in both IT and Life Science sectors. It has been widely used in programs for data analysis, graph plotting, statistics, densitometry, dose-effect analysis, assays, curve-fitting, enzyme kinetics, teaching and more. With the rapid development of life sciences, the demand for BioSoft will also increase, making it a very promising industry. We believe that the academic and industrial environments of Beijing, along with its convenient transportation system will allow more scientists, engineers, business leaders and government officials to be involved in BioSoft-2012. Through this conference participants will be able to make new contacts and promote collaborations while also exchanging knowledge about the field of BioSoft. We look forward to welcoming you to Beijing in March 2012!
