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

国际智能生物学和医学会议(ICIBM)旨在向各种受训人员和青年研究人员，包括受训人员、教师、科学家和工程师推广信息科学、技术和教育，并提供一个思想交流的论坛。2018年会议将于6月10日至12日在洛杉矶举行。自2012年创办以来，ICIBM系列会议促进了对具有尖端技术和最新知识的下一代生物信息学、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以及农业、环境、制药、动物和数据科学的信息学研究。初级学者的旅行奖项是根据预期海报演示的提交和质量来评判的。该奖项将为20名从事海报工作的美国学生和初级学者提供支持。此外，还为四位世界领导人在会议上发言和与初级学者互动提供支持。在同行评议中得分最高的稿件将被选为BMC期刊和国际计算生物学和药物设计杂志上的特刊。ICIBM 2018计划将包括四位杰出的主旨演讲者、会议特邀演讲、四次教程和研讨会、科学演示、亮点演讲、海报会议和其他活动。ICIBM 2018将继续提供创新的培训和研究协作计划，以满足不同水平的研究专业知识。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，而老牌研究人员将继续获得协作交流和跨学科机会。通过在整个活动期间开展广泛的教育活动、协作和互动，ICIBM 2018将推动前沿融合研究。通过吸纳任职人数不足的学生和其他受训人员，以及会议培训机会，对教育和多样性的承诺推动建立了一个文化和专业多元化的受训人员委员会。BMC期刊和国际计算生物学和药物设计杂志上的特刊有助于确保洞察力和研究的广泛传播。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为是值得支持的。

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.
