Track on Biomedical Data Science (BIOMEDS)


Call for Papers

The rapid growing of data science provides interesting opportunities and challenges in the context of biomedical and health practice and research. Currently, data science is used in the the electronic medical records (EHR), biomedical imaging, and genomics/proteomics/metabolomics. The goal of biomedical data science is to answer biomedical and health research needs and to make decision to improve health. Some skills required in this area include programming, data management, data analysis, machine learning and domain expertise.

Scope and Topics


We are looking for contributions in the biomedical data science research and applications. The topics include but are not limited to:

  • Machine learning applied to the biomedical domain
  • Exploratory data analysis and visualization in the biomedical domain
  • Data science algorithms applied in clinical decision making
  • Data science in bioinformatics
  • Machine learning in bioinformatics
  • Computational genomics
