The purpose of the International Conference on Bioinformatics Models, Methods and Algorithms is to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the application of computational systems, algorithmic concepts and information technologies to address challenging problems in Biomedical research with a particular focus on the emerging problems in Bioinformatics and computational biology. There is a tremendous need to explore how mathematical, statistical and computational models can be used to better understand biological processes and systems, while developing new methodologies and tools to analysis the massive currently-available biological data. Areas of interest to this community include systems biology, sequence analysis, biostatistics, image analysis, network and graph models, scientific data management and data mining, machine learning, pattern recognition, computational evolutionary biology, computational genomics and proteomics, and related areas!

The Fifteenth Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Conference will be held in Shenzhen, China. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers, academics, and industrial practitioners. APBC2017 invites high quality original full papers on any topic related to Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. The submitted papers must have not been published or under the consideration for publication in any other journal or conference with formal proceedings. All accepted papers will have to be presented by one of the authors at the conference. Accepted papers will be invited to be published in IEEE/ACM TCCB, BMC Bioinformatics, BMC Genomics, BMC Systems Biology, and Computational Biology and Chemistry following each journal's publication policy!

The aim objective of the 2017 7th International Conference on Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics (ICBBB 2017) is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians as well as industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics. 2017 7th International Conference on Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics (ICBBB 2017) will be held in Bangkok, Thailand during January 21-23, 2017!

BIOCOMP'16 - The 17th International Conference on Bioinformatics & Computational Biology

You are invited to submit a paper for consideration. All accepted papers will be published in printed conference books/proceedings (each with a unique international ISBN number) and will also be made available online. The proceedings will be indexed in science citation databases that track citation frequency/data. In addition, like prior years, extended versions of selected papers (about 40%) will appear in journals and edited research books; publishers include, Springer, Elsevier, BMC, and others). See the web link below for a small subset of such publications: (some of these books and journal special issues have already received the top 25% downloads in their respective fields and/or identified as "Highly Accessed" by publishers and/or science citation index trackers).

The conference is composed of a number of tracks, tutorials, sessions, workshops, poster and panel discussions; all will be held simultaneously, same location and dates: July 25-28, 2016. Topics of interest include various topics/aspects, such as: Bioinformatics and Big Data, Bioinformatics and new cloud resources, Computational Systems Biology, Evolution of regulatory genomic sequences, RNA and DNA structure and sequencing, Biological databases and information retrieval, Biological data integration and visualization, Image processing in medicine and biological sciences, Pattern classification and recognition, Sequence analysis and alignment, Software tools and methods for computational biology and bioinformatics, Protein modeling, Metabolic modeling and pathways, Medical informatics, Amino acid sequencing, ...

IEEE CIBCB 2016: IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology


This conference will bring together top researchers, practitioners, and students from around the world to discuss the latest advances in the field of Computational Intelligence and its application to real world problems in biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering and related fields.

CIBCB 2016 approaches mainly focus on three major areas in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and their real-world application. Firstly, Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics includes Gene expression array analysis, Structure prediction and folding, Molecular sequence alignment and analysis, Metabolic pathway analysis, MicroRNA analysis, Molecular evolution and phylogenetics, and Pattern Recognition in Bioinformatics. Secondly, Computational Intelligence in Computational Biology includes Systems and synthetic biology, Modeling, simulation, and optimization of biological systems, Biological network reconstruction, and Pattern Recognition in Computational Biology. Finally, Computational Intelligence in Computational Biomedical Engineering includes Medical imaging and pattern recognition, Signal and Image Processing in Biomedical Engineering, Biomedical data modeling and mining, Biomedical model parameterization, Big data analysis and tools for biological and medical data, Biomaker discovery and development, and Neuroscience.


The 15th European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB 2016) will provide travel fellowships supported by the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) to help students and postdocs presenting a poster or a paper to attend the conference. 

This conference will bring together scientists from a wide range of disciplines, including molecular biology, biology, medicine, computer science, mathematics and statistics.
