The presentations covered emerging areas of bioinformatics, systems biology, intelligent computing, data sciences, and biomedical informatics.
The ICIBM 2016 spanned 3 days and its scientific program included 4 workshops/tutorials, 4 keynote lectures, 4 conference invited talks, 8 concurrent scientific sessions and a poster session with 53 accepted abstracts. In the following section, we summarize the scientific program of the ICIBM 2016 and provide an editorial report of the 11 research articles included in this BMC Genomics supplement issue. As before, we formed the Award Committee to review and select the travel awards based on the quality of the research (paper or abstract), the financial need, and diversity/minority of the attendees. Thanks to the grant support from the National Science Foundation, we were able to provide 22 travel awards to trainees from diverse backgrounds across both the USA and international institutions. ICIBM 2016 brought a special session on this specific topic. An emerging research area at ICIBM is data science especially in medical data. These manuscripts and abstracts covered research topics including next-generation sequencing (NGS), genomics and other omics research, biological pathway and network analysis, computational algorithms, methods and tools. We received 77 original manuscripts and 53 abstracts.
It served as a platform for bringing together more than 150 scientists or trainees across the world with diverse backgrounds and training ranging from biology, medicine, computer science, bioengineering, bioinformatics, statistics, mathematics, and genomics, among others.
#Dna conference 2016 chicago mcgill university june 3rd 2016 series#
ICIBM conference series have two main aims: 1) to foster interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research in bioinformatics, systems biology, intelligent computing, bioengineering, and data sciences, and 2) to provide an educational program for trainees and young investigators across a range of scientific disciplines to learn the frontier research in these areas and to build a network among both the established and junior investigators.Īfter 4 years of successful conference programs, ICIBM 2016 turned out to be the largest of all the ICIBM series in all aspects: number of attendees, talks, abstracts, posters, etc. This is the fifth annual ICIBM conference.
The 2016 International Conference on Intelligent Biology and Medicine (ICIBM 2016) was held from December 8th to 10th, 2016 in Houston, Texas, USA.
