abstract: This workshop is concerned with the development and application of methods in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence to problems in Bioinformatics and Medicine

abstract: With the US National Institute of Health’s Molecular Library Initiative and the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute’s chemogenomics and cheminformatics programmes, large-scale drug discovery and biological screening data have entered the public domain. We are also witnessing the first efforts to sequence individual human genomes, and are making impressive progress in understanding the genomes of some of the world’s most significant disease-causing organisms. Integration of genomic sequence information with proteomics and metabolomics data provides an unprecedented chance to systematically attack disease on a molecular level. Open access to bioinformatics and cheminformatics data also opens up exciting new opportunities for academic–industrial collaboration. TACBAC 2010 will bring together experts from both the biomedical and the computational domains to explore these novel developments, discuss how to overcome the major challenges, and create new opportunities for applying computational biology and chemistry to disease management and prevention.

abstract: A primary way that biologists interact with their data is through visualization systems, ranging from simple, stand-alone methods to complex, integrated software packages. However, the sheer volume and diversity of both data and of visualization systems presents an increasing challenge for biologists.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together, for the first time, researchers developing and using systems to visualize a broad range of biological data, including sequences, genomes, phylogenies, macromolecular structures, systems biology, microscopy, and magnetic resonance imaging. In selecting topics for this workshop, we have focused on the visualization of processed and annotated data in their biological context, rather than the processing of raw data.

The meeting will review the state-of-the-art and highlight current and future challenges across this broad range of visualization systems. The underlying theme of the workshop is to provide a forum to help identify and exploit synergies. For example - cases for inter- operation, the re-use of methods or concepts, and common conventions in usability.

abstract: Ce colloque international est la 3ème conférence conjointe de la conférence MPD « Mathematical Population Dynamics » et de la conférence DeStoBio « Deterministic and Stochastic Models for Biological Interaction ». Ses objectifs sont de favoriser les mathématiques appliquées aux sciences du vivant; promouvoir et inscrire la discipline dans la société ; favoriser l'intégration des biomathématiciens dans la communauté scientifique.

abstract: The Workshop on Biomedical Image Registration aims to bring together leading researchers in the area of biomedical image registration to present and discuss recent developments in the field. The format of the two-day workshop will include both oral and poster presentations and offers opportunities for discussion.

abstract: The 2010 International Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics and Chemoinformatics (BCBGC-10) will be held during 12-14 of July 2010 in Orlando, FL, USA. BCBGC is an important event in the areas of bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics and chemoinformatics and focuses on all areas related to the conference.

abstract: The current generation of high-throughput genetic and genomic platforms, has had a great impact on biomedical research, and given new impetus to studies of molecular mechanisms of genetic disease, and to systems biology. The next big technological step forward is the advent of cheap, fast, sequencing platforms that will allow near-complete genome sequences to be quickly and affordably obtained from individual members of any species. Individual genomes from humans, their pathogens and model organisms will have an enormous impact on population genetics and evolutionary theory, as well as on epidemiology, particularly our understanding of infectious disease. We plan to discuss the most pressing open problems and the most promising avenues of future research necessary to deliver the full benefits of genome resequencing.

abstract: The workshop aims to bring together researchers in computer scientists, computational biologists, structural biologists, virologists, bacteriologists, immunologists, vaccinologists, and systems biologists to share research challenges, research results, methods, and advances in immunoinformatics and computational immunology.

abstract: Measuring Behavior is the premier interdisciplinary event for scientists and practitioners concerned with the study of human or animal behavior. This unique conference focuses on methods, techniques and tools in behavioral research in the widest sense; from neuroscience and zoology to psychology and consumer behavior, and from human factors research to public safety and smart homes.

abstract: The area of Information Technology is very important for Bio- as well as Medical Informatics. The DEXA conference is dedicated to providing an international forum for presenting applications in the area of database and expert systems, enabling the exchange of ideas and experiences defining requirements for future systems.

Referring to current applications, Bio- and Medical Information Technology are areas confronting us with new challenges.

Both areas are characterized by producing mass data and by using federated databases transparently integrating multiple autonomous database systems into a single federated database Further both areas are characterized by using different techniques common in the area of information systems.

abstract: The International Study Group for Systems Biology is a collective of international researchers interested in advancing the biological sciences through exploring the interplay between theory and experiment. The general theme of the meeting is theoretical approaches to understanding the behaviour of cell systems, particularly transport, metabolism and signal transduction.

abstract: ECCB10 is the key European computational biology event in 2010 uniting scientists working in a broad range of disciplines, including bioinformatics, computational biology, biology, medicine and systems biology. Part of the ECCB conference series, it will be organized this year jointly by the Belgian and Dutch bioinformatics communities.
