Special Session:  Advances in Machine Learning for Bioinformatics and Computational Biomedicine

We are experiencing today a huge growth of research  in the areas of Bioinformatics and Biomedicine, areas in which computational intelligence techniques play an important and fundamental role. The objective of the proposed session is to  gather specialists and new researchers on  the list of topics mentioned below to present and discuss their latest developments in these fields. This session aims to build on the precedent set by two previous and more specific ones: "Neural networks and other Machine Learning methods in cancer research" at IWANN 2007, and "Machine Learning and the future of medical care in 4P: personalised, predictive, preventive and participatory" at IWANN 2009.

Research in: Pattern Recognition, Computational Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Mining methods applied to:

-Personalized and preventive health care.
-Diagnosis, prognosis and survival analysis.
-Bioinformatics, including sequence analysis, genomics, proteomics, drug design and discovery, etc.
-Medical decision support systems
-Biomedical data visualization
