ACM-BCB 2019
The 10th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM BCB) is the flagship conference of the ACM SIGBio. ACM-BCB 2019 is the conference's tenth year anniversary, building upon the success of the first nine meetings in Niagara Falls, Chicago, Orlando, Washington DC, Newport Beach, Atlanta, Seattle, Boston, and Washington DC.
ACM-BCB 2019 will be held in Niagara Falls, NY on Sept 7-10, 2019. The conference is the premier conference dedicated to interdisciplinary research linking computer science, mathematics, statistics, biology, bioinformatics, biomedical informatics, and health informatics. The past few decades have seen tremendous growth in the scale and complexity of biological and medical data including recent mainstream recognition of big data challenges. This conference serves to showcase leading-edge research on new technologies and techniques around gathering, processing, analyzing, and modeling of data and information for a variety of scientific, clinical, and healthcare applications, from bench to bedside.
This year, we are pleased to announce that the Workshop on Algorithms in Bioinformatics (WABI, https://acm-bcb.org/WABI/2019/) will be co-located with ACM-BCB.
