In conjunction with the ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology and Health Informatics 2016

BigLS is a workshop series dedicated to the broad theme of Big Data in life sciences. The workshop is focused on, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Scalable algorithms and techniques for big data analytics in molecular biology
• Statistical and integrative approaches to big data biology
• Emerging Machine Learning and AI techniques for big data biology
• High performance computing methods and software for big data biology
• Software and hardware foundations for managing big data in biomedical informatics

Cross-topic papers focusing on techniques for heterogeneous medical data, translational research big data and P4 medicine are especially welcome!

This year, the workshop will feature a keynote address by Nathan Price, Professor and Associate Director of the Institute for Systems Biology.

Thanks to the support from the NSF, the workshop will offer the travel grants for students and postdoctoral researchers from US academic institutions.
