IEEE EMB Call for Papers

The 1st International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering (ICBBE2007) will be held on July 6-8, 2007 at one of the most beautiful universities in China, Wuhan University. ICBBE will bring together top researchers from Asian Pacific nations, North America, Europe and around the world to exchange research results and address open issues in all aspects of bioinformatics and biomedical engineering. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE proceedings, and the papers will be covered by EI index. Some accepted papers related to protein sciences can be published in Amino Acids (A SCI journal with impact factor more than 2 ).
