BIBM 2011 - Workshop on Informatics Applications in Therapeutics, Atlanta, GA
November 12-15, 2011
Workshop on Informatics Applications in Therapeutics will be held in conjunction with IEEE BIBM 2011 in Nov, 2011 at Atlanta, GA, USA. Informatics techniques and computational tools have been employed to explore the information embedded in the human genome, proteins, signaling pathways, and immune system. Informatics applications have been widely applied to basic biological research, rational vaccine design, development of new therapeutics, clinical operations, and patient care. The various flavors of informatics in biomedical field include bioinformatics, imaging informatics, clinical informatics, and health informatics. They are essential in helping to translate basic research findings to the bedside applications and improve efficacy of the health care delivery. Biomedical informatics and information technology in general have long-reaching implications to a variety of medical fields. The overall goal is to advance various aspects of health care: public and individual health care, health sciences research, and health education. Examples include informatics-based improvements of hospital processes, development and delivery of more efficient and effective patient treatments, and improved diagnostic methods. We invite submission of original papers describing previously unpublished research and development describing recent advances in the field of biomedical informatics. All papers will be peer-reviewed. All accepted papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Selected papers will be published in several journals including Immunome Research and Journal of Immunological Methods. Students and Postdoc authors of the workshop can apply for Student Travel Award. BIBM 2011 will offer 20 student travel awards.
