We are pleased to announce the 12th International Conference on Intelligent Biology and Medicine (ICIBM 2024), which will take place in Houston, TX, USA. ICIBM is a high-caliber conference that brings together eminent scholars with expertise in various fields of computational biology, systems biology, computational medicine, and experimentalists interested in the application of computational methods in biomedical studies. The purpose of the ICIBM is to provide a congenial atmosphere highly conducive to extensive discussion and networking. You are invited to submit papers and abstracts with unpublished, original work describing recent advances in all aspects of Bioinformatics, Intelligent Computing, Systems Biology, and Medical Informatics, including but not restricted to the following topics:
Bioinformatics:
1. Genomics and genetics/epigenetics, including integrative & functional genomics, genome evolution, GWAS.
2. Next-generation sequencing data analysis, 3D genome.
3. Big data science including storage, analysis, modeling, visualization, and cloud.
4. Precision medicine, translational bioinformatics, and medical informatics.
5. Drug discovery, design, and re-purposing.
6. Proteomics, and protein structure prediction, function, and interactions.
7. Single-cell sequencing data analysis.
8. Microbiome and Metagenomics.
Intelligent Computing and Data Science:
1. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, data mining, knowledge discovery.
2. Large language model, foundation model, and computer vision in biomedical.
3. Natural language processing, literature mining, semantic ontology, and health informatics.
4. Neural computing, kernel methods, feature selection/extraction.
5. Evolutionary computing, swarm intelligence / optimization, ensemble methods.
6. Artificial life and artificial immune system.
7. Biomedical image analysis and processing.
Systems Biology:
1. Modeling and simulation of biological processes, pathways, networks, and interactomes.
2. Modeling of cellular and multi-cellular interaction systems.
3. Multi-dimensional omics data integration.
4. Synthetic biological systems.
5. Metabolomics, microbiome, and lipidomics.
6. Self-organization in living systems (cells, organisms, swarms, ecosystems, etc.).
Medical Informatics:
1. Cohort discovery, EHR-based phenotyping, predictive modeling.
2. Data quality assessment or validation.
3. Clinical decision support solutions.
4. Informatics to address disparities in health and health care.
5. Interoperability (e.g., ontology, terminology, standards, and others).
6. Machine learning for clinical applications, genome, and phenome analysis/associations.
7. Mobile health and wearable devices.
8. Human-computer interaction and human factors
Paper Submission and Publication
Prospective authors are invited to submit unpublished work to ICIBM 2024. All papers and abstracts will be initially submitted through the EasyChair Conference System. Selected papers of the registered authors will be recommended to be published in special issues in the following journals, subject to additional editorial approval and expected additional review by each journal: International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS, impact factor: 5.6), Quantitative Biology (impact factor 3.1), Information (impact factor 3.1), Cancers (impact factor 5.2).
Abstract Submission
Conference participants are invited to submit abstracts to ICIBM 2024. Abstract submitted to the conference should be formatted using the Abstract Template. The abstract body should be no more than 400 words. We welcome submissions of highlight papers that have been recently published or accepted for publication. In this case, the abstract should include a complete reference to the published paper. A group of experts will evaluate the submissions and select the abstracts to be presented orally or as a poster. Please submit your abstract to icibm2024.abstract@gmail.com.
Travel Awards
The goal of the ICIBM 2024 Travel Award is to encourage the participation of young scientists in training, including graduate, undergraduate and high school students, as well as postdoctoral fellows. Specific consideration will be given to qualified applicants from underrepresented populations, minority institutes, female trainees, or those who needs special financial support to attend ICIBM 2024.
