Intelligent Biology and Medicine in 2018: Advancing Interdisciplinary Education, Collaboration, and Innovation

智能生物学和医学国际会议（ICIBM）旨在向各种各样的学员和年轻的研究人员，包括学员，教师，教师，科学家和工程师，促进信息科学，技术和教育，并为思想的交叉施肥提供一个论坛。2018年会议将于6月10日至12日在洛杉矶举行。自2012年成立以来，ICIBM会议系列促进了下一代生物信息学，系统生物学和智能计算科学家的教育，并促进了复杂生物系统和农业，环境，制药，动物学和数据科学的信息学研究。初级学者的旅行奖是由提交和预期的海报演示质量来判断的。 该奖项将为20名美国学生和初级学者提供支持，他们将参与海报制作。 此外，还为四位世界领导人在会议上发言并与青年学者互动提供了支助。在同行评审中得分最高的手稿将被选为BMC期刊和国际计算生物学与药物设计杂志的特刊。ICIBM 2018计划将包括四位杰出的主题演讲者，会议邀请演讲，四个教程和研讨会，科学演示，重点讲座，海报会议和其他活动。ICIBM 2018将继续提供创新的培训和研究合作计划，以满足不同层次的研究专业知识。初级研究人员将利用资源从高级专家那里获得更高水平的培训和信息，而资深研究人员将继续获得合作交流和跨学科的机会。通过广泛的教育活动，合作和整个活动的互动，ICIBM 2018将推进尖端的融合研究。通过吸收代表性不足的学生和其他受训人员以及提供会议培训机会，致力于教育和多样性，推动建立了一个文化和专业多样性的受训人员委员会。 BMC期刊和《国际计算生物学和药物设计杂志》的特刊有助于确保这些见解和研究的广泛传播。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The International Conference on Intelligent Biology and Medicine (ICIBM) aims to promote information science, technology, and education to a great variety of trainees and young investigators, including trainees, faculty, teachers, scientists, and engineers, and to provide a forum for the cross-fertilization of ideas. The 2018 meeting will held in Los Angeles June 10-12. Since its inception in 2012, ICIBM conference series has fostered the education of next generation of bioinformatics, systems biology, and intelligent computing scientists with cutting edge technologies and updated knowledge, as well as promoted informatics research in complex biological systems and agricultural, environmental, pharmaceutical, zoological, and data sciences. The travel awards for junior scholars are judged by the submission and quality of anticipated poster presentation. This award would provide support for 20 US-based students and junior scholars who would be engaged in posters. In addition, support is provided for four world leaders to speak at the meeting and interact with the junior scholars. The top scored manuscripts in peer-review will be selected for special issues in BMC journals and the International Journal of Computational Biology and Drug Design. ICIBM 2018 program will include four distinguished keynote speakers, conference invited talks, four tutorial and workshop sessions, scientific presentations, highlight talks, poster session, and other activities.ICIBM 2018 will continue in providing innovative training and research collaborative programs catering to various levels of research expertise. Junior researchers will utilize resources to gain higher levels of training and information from senior experts, while established researchers will have continued access to collaborative communication and cross-disciplinary opportunities. Through extensive educational activities, collaborations, and interactions throughout the event, ICIBM 2018 will advance cutting-edge convergent research. The commitment to education and diversity through the inclusion of underrepresented students and other trainees, as well as the conference training opportunities, drives the establishment of a culturally and professionally diverse Trainee Committee. Special issues in BMC journals and the International Journal of Computational Biology and Drug Design help to insure broad dissemination of the insights and research. Support is provided for 20 students and four keynote speakers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
