San Jose, CA, USA    Nov 2-4, 2007

 

IEEE BIBM 2007 will provide a general forum for disseminating the latest research in bioinformatics and biomedicine. It is a multidisciplinary conference that brings together academic and industrial scientists from computer science, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics and statistics. It will exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of bioinformatics and biomedicine and  provide a forum for the presentation of work in  databases, algorithms, interfaces, visualization, modeling, simulation, ontology  and other computational methods, as applied to life science  problems, with emphasis on applications in high throughput data-rich areas in biology, biomedical engineering. IEEE BIBM 2007   intends to attract a balanced combination of computer scientists, biologists, biomedical engineers, chemist, data analyzer, statistician.
