In the post-genomics era, we are drowning in data but are starved for knowledge. Integrative Bioinformatics provides the key science and technology platforms to integrate, align and model heterogenous data types to generate meaningful insights from big data and from complex biological systems. This meeting will bring together experts in the field of bioinformatics, computer science, statistics, computational and systems biology. This year, in addition to scientific presentations, it will include workshops, flash talks, software demos, poster presentations and networking opportunities.
