Call for papers

CSBIO 2019
10th International Conference on Computational Systems-Biology and Bioinformatics

Location: Nice, France
Dates: December 4th-7th, 2019
www.csbio.org/2019/
====================================================================

With the advancement in next-generation molecular technology in generating the
high-throughput "omics" data, life science has come to the era of "big data".
To extract biological knowledge from the data and translate it into benefits for society
(e.g. better medicine and healthcare), novel and advanced computational tools
are needed for data analysis.

The call for paper targets contribution in the field of computational approaches
designed to face the challenges aroused by biological systems. It aims at giving
an overview of the cutting-edge methods and tools to address biological systems.

CSBio 2019 would like to invite researchers and industrial counterparts to meet at
this event to exchange ideas and stimulate research collaborations.
