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.
