ICCABS 2013

IEEE ICCABS The 3rd IEEE International Conference on Computational Advances in Bio and Medical Sciences (ICCABS) will be held on June 12-14, 2013 in New Orleans, LA. The conference aims to bring together leading academic and industry researchers

to discuss the latest advances in computational methods for bio and medical sciences. The deadline for submitting extended abstracts is April 5, 2013. Topics of interest include but are not limited to biological modeling and simulation, biomedical image processing, biomedical data and literature mining, computational genetic epidemiology, computational metabolomics, computational proteomics, databases and ontologies, gene regulation, genome assembly and annotation, health informatics, high-performance bio-computing, immunoinformatics, molecular evolution, population genomics, sequence analysis, structural bioinformatics, systems biology, and transcriptomics. Two special supplements of journals BMC Bioinformatics and BMC Genomics will be devoted to full versions of selected extended abstracts.

ISBRA’13

The 9th International Symposium on Bioinformatics Research and Applications (ISBRA 2013) will be held on May 20–22 at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Prior editions of the symposium were held in Atlanta (2005, 2007, and 2008), Reading, UK (2006), Fort Lauderdale (2009), Storrs (2010), Changsha, China (2011), and Dallas (2012).

Authors are invited to submit papers that present original research in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology, including the development of experimental or commercial systems. The deadline for submitting extended abstracts (12 pages) is February 6. Authors of accepted abstracts will be notified by February 27, with final versions due on March 8. The deadline for submitting short abstracts (4 pages) is April 1. Notification will occur by April 15, with final versions due on April 22.
