in all areas of bioinformatics , biomedicine and healthcare
informatics relevant to the scope of BIBM (for a detailed list of topics see
the

Poster presentations offer the
opportunity to present late-breaking results, work in progress, or other
significant research
that is best communicated in a graphical or interactive format. We expect
the poster session to
be the focus of interactions between authors and other conference
participants, leading to
discussions about the work presented, fostering possible collaborations, and
providing the
authors with valuable feedback about their work.
