Fourth International IEEE Conference on Computational Advances in Bio and medical Sciences (ICCABS) - Travel Awards

更广泛的意义和重要性本提案支持学生和博士后（pdf）参加第四届国际生物与医学科学进展会议（ICCABS）。这些学生和pdf文件将会见生物信息学专家并听取他们的研究成果。不仅是参加的学生和pdf，而且他们的朋友也会受益，因为当学生和pdf回到学校时，他们将与他们的朋友交流他们的经历。会议记录将对学生、研究人员和从业人员非常有用。会议记录的部分内容也可用于不同的课程。项目技术描述计算技术正在彻底改变科学和工程领域进行研究的方式。在各个领域都取得了无与伦比的进步。在生物学、医学和药物发现领域尤其如此。鉴于这些领域对整个社会至关重要，我们必须尽一切努力使这些领域的研究取得进展。孤立地在这些领域取得进展是不够的。这些社区必须共同努力，相互帮助，并提出最好的诊断工具、治疗程序、各种疾病的药物等。尽管今天在生物信息学的一般领域存在许多会议，但它们在很大程度上关注计算生物学。这次会议的目标是将这三个领域的科学家聚集在一起，从而为这些领域的研究工作提供一个桥梁。这个项目的智力价值在于其目标是汇集生物和医学各个领域的科学家，并促进他们之间的合作。

Broader Significance and ImportanceThis proposal is to support the travel of students and post-doctoral fellows (PDFs) to attend the 4th International Conference on Advances in Bio and medical Sciences (ICCABS). These students and PDFs will get to meet experts in Bioinformatics and listen to their research results. Not only the attending students and PDFs but also their friends will benefit since when the students and PDFs return to their schools they will communicate their experience with their friends. The conference proceedings will be of great use to students, researchers, and practitioners. Portions of the proceedings could be used in different courses as well.Technical Description of the ProjectComputational techniques are revolutionizing the way in which research is conducted in science and engineering. Unsurpassed advances have been made in various areas. This is particularly true in the domains of biology, medicine, and drug discovery. Given that these areas are of utmost importance to the society at large, it is imperative that every effort be made to enable research advances in them. It is not enough if advances are made in these areas in isolation. These communities have to work together to help each other and come up with the best possible diagnosis tools, treatment procedures, drugs for various diseases, etc. Even though a number of conferences exist today in the general area of bioinformatics, they focus on computational biology to a large extent. The proposed conference has the goal of bringing together scientists in all the three areas and hence serving as a platform for bridging the research efforts in these areas.The intellectual merit of this project lies in its goal of bringing together scientists in various areas of bio and medical sciences and fostering collaborations among them.
