A great day at Villa Bolasco in Castelfranco for the “Workshop on Research and Education in Computer Engineering”. Professors, Post-docs and PhD students of Computer Engineering at the Department of Information Engineering, University of Padova, joined for a day dedicated to ongoing research activities and upcoming teaching and research priorities. Our Post-docs have also contributed with:
– “Single Cell RNA Sequencing Bioinformatics” (Giacomo Baruzzo)
– “Biological Logic gates: Towards Biocomputing via Synthetic Biology” (Massimo Bellato)
– “Predictive analytics as the enabling factor for the pursuit of healthcare goals” (Enrico Longato)
Special thanks to the organizers for making it possible (finally in presence!)

It is our pleasure to announce the special session Artificial Intelligence and Statistical Methods for Neurodegenerative Diseases at the 17th International Conference on Computational Intelligence Methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics (CIBB 2021).
Conference dates: 15-17 November 2021
Location: virtual
Submission format: short paper (4-6 pages)
Deadline: 15 September 2021
The authors of all the accepted short papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their manuscript for the conference proceedings book in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) or for a journal supplement in BMC Bioinformatics or BMC Medical Informatics.
Topics of interest span machine learning, medical statistics, artificial intelligence, and all advanced computational methods applied to clinical, lifestyle, and -omics data in the field of neurodegenerative diseases.
The session will host, as an invited speaker, Prof. Sara Madeira (Universidade de Lisboa), a leading expert in machine learning applied to neurodegenerative diseases.
Please find the call for papers and all the submission details on the conference website http://www.isa.cnr.it/cibb2021/.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
