CIBB provides a multidisciplinary forum for researchers interested in the application of Computational Intelligence, in a broad sense, to open problems in bioinformatics, biostatistics, and medical informatics. 

CIBB is looking for contributions on current trends and future opportunities at the interface between computer and life sciences, and applications of computational intelligence to system and synthetic biology. Theoretical and experimental biologists are also encouraged to participate and present their experience in facing novel challenges to foster multidisciplinary collaboration.

Authors are invited to submit a short paper (4-6 pages) describing their original contribution in the fields of bioinformatics, biostatistics, systems and synthetic biology, and medical informatics. All accepted contributions will be presented in plenary oral sessions or special sessions.All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference.
