ACM BCB 11 will be held in Chicago at the Hilton Suites Chicago –
Magnificent Mile from August 1-3, 2011. The conference welcomes high
quality, original research papers. Papers should contain new algorithms or
novel computational approaches in the broad areas of bioinformatics,
computational biology and biomedicine. Papers that use existing
computational techniques in new and interesting ways leading to novel
biological discoveries are also welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Genomics: Structural, Functional, and Comparative
• Molecular Networks: Proteomics, Transcriptomics & Metabolomics
• Phylogenetics at Gene and Genome Levels
• Computational Systems Biology
• Immunoinformatics and Computational Immunology
• Computational Epidemiology
• Biomedical and Translational Informatics
• Databases, Knowledgebases & Ontologies for Bioinformatics
• Machine Learning, Image Analysis, Knowledge Representation and Inference
• Integration of Biomedical Data
• Text Mining and Natural Language Processing in Biomedicine
• Hardware and Software Infrastructure for Biomedicine
