CALL FOR POSTERS

1st IEEE International Conference on Computational Advances in Bio and Medical Sciences (ICCABS)

Feb. 3-5, 2011, Holiday Inn – in the Walt Disney Resort, Orlando, Florida

Advances in high-throughput technologies such as DNA sequencing and mass spectrometry are profoundly transforming life sciences, resulting in the collection of unprecedented amounts of biological and medical data.  Using this data to advance our knowledge about fundamental biological processes and improve human health requires novel computational models and advanced analysis algorithms. IEEE ICCABS aims to bring together leading academic and industry researchers to discuss the latest advances in computational methods for bio and medical sciences.
