I follow the feeds from WikiCFP that gathers call for papers

There are different topics:

It seems that you can post a CFP. However, I don't know if there is a large audience.

[Hamish]

The BIOSCI/Bionet mailing lists / Usenet newsgroups are commonly used for calls for papers. Commonly these go to BIONEWS aka. bionet.announce to reach the widest audience. These lists/groups are also available via Google Groups (search for 'bionet.').

Hi, all. I am the Web administrator of ResearchRaven and am happy to list on it calls for papers in bioinformatics. See current listings of calls for papers for conferences here and calls for papers for publications here. Please feel free to submit announcements here.

All listings are free to those who submit and those who read them. Bioinformatics, incidentally, is just one of the many health sciences/medicine categories on ResearchRaven. You can sign up for free alerts via email or RSS to any of the categories, as well.
