The IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology 2017 (IEEE CIBCB 2017) will be held in Manchester, UK, 23-25 August 2017. IEEE CIBCB has become a major technical event in the field of Computational Intelligence and its application to problems in biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, chemical informatics, bioengineering and related fields.


The conference provides a global forum for academic and industrial scientists from a range of fields including computer science, biology, chemistry, medicine, mathematics, statistics, and engineering, to discuss and present their latest research findings from theory to applications.


The conference will consist of three days of technical presentations, a poster session combined with brief but punchy poster snapshot presentations, and tutorials. We will also have three invited talks, by Charlotte Deane from University of Oxford, Douglas Kell from the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, and Julia Handl from the University of Manchester. The conference dinner will be held at the beautiful Manchester Museum on the 24th of August.
