BioITWorld
IDG's running this new conference, BioITWorld, starting in Boston, so, since it's close, I'm here, (Right now on a couch on the exhibit floor, actually) and will be both days, modulo a visit to O'Reilly and Sasuga Books tomorrow.

Anyway, if anyone's here, look me up and say Hi.

Judging from the folks here, though, a strong information/signal processing or algorithmic background would stand you in good stead, as would a good statistics or mathematics background. When you get down to the bioinformatics level, it's almost all information.
