Doctoral
Candidate
Research
Symposium
Over the past few decades, applications of computational biology and bioinformatics have increased considerably thanks to contributions of pioneering scientists from different fields like algorithms, artificial intelligence, data mining, machine learning, optimization and mathematical modeling. Computation has become essential to biological research areas, such as: proteomics, drug design, DNA sequencing, genome annotation, interaction networks and a variety of other areas related to health informatics and translational medicine.
This workshop aims at bringing together exciting and challenging work by young researchers who have reached advanced stages or are near completion of their Ph.D. degrees or recent Ph.D. graduates. One of the objectives of this workshop is to increase participation and community engagement of Ph.D. students who may not have a conference paper to present at IEEE BIBM but would be willing to present ongoing work of significance. This includes Ph.D. students who are presenting posters and may be willing to enhance their experience by giving oral presentations of their work at this workshop.
