Broader Significance and ImportanceThis proposal is to support the travel of students and post-doctoral fellows (PDFs) to attend the 4th International Conference on Advances in Bio and medical Sciences (ICCABS). These students and PDFs will get to meet experts in Bioinformatics and listen to their research results. Not only the attending students and PDFs but also their friends will benefit since when the students and PDFs return to their schools they will communicate their experience with their friends. The conference proceedings will be of great use to students, researchers, and practitioners. Portions of the proceedings could be used in different courses as well.Technical Description of the ProjectComputational techniques are revolutionizing the way in which research is conducted in science and engineering. Unsurpassed advances have been made in various areas. This is particularly true in the domains of biology, medicine, and drug discovery. Given that these areas are of utmost importance to the society at large, it is imperative that every effort be made to enable research advances in them. It is not enough if advances are made in these areas in isolation. These communities have to work together to help each other and come up with the best possible diagnosis tools, treatment procedures, drugs for various diseases, etc. Even though a number of conferences exist today in the general area of bioinformatics, they focus on computational biology to a large extent. The proposed conference has the goal of bringing together scientists in all the three areas and hence serving as a platform for bridging the research efforts in these areas.The intellectual merit of this project lies in its goal of bringing together scientists in various areas of bio and medical sciences and fostering collaborations among them.

更广泛的意义和重要性该提案旨在支持学生和博士后研究员 (PDF) 参加第四届生物和医学科学进展国际会议 (ICCABS) 的旅行。这些学生和 PDF 将与生物信息学专家见面并聆听他们的研究成果。不仅在校学生和 PDF，他们的朋友也会受益，因为当学生和 PDF 返回学校时，他们会与朋友交流他们的经验。会议记录对学生、研究人员和从业者非常有用。该程序的部分内容也可以在不同的课程中使用。项目的技术描述计算技术正在彻底改变科学和工程研究的方式。各个领域都取得了无与伦比的进步。在生物学、医学和药物发现领域尤其如此。鉴于这些领域对整个社会至关重要，因此必须尽一切努力推动这些领域的研究取得进展。如果孤立地在这些领域取得进展是不够的。这些社区必须共同努力，互相帮助，并提出最好的诊断工具、治疗程序、针对各种疾病的药物等。尽管今天在生物信息学的一般领域存在许多会议，但它们的重点是计算生物学在很大程度上。拟议会议的目标是将所有三个领域的科学家聚集在一起，从而成为桥接这些领域的研究工作的平台。该项目的智力价值在于其目标是将生物和生物技术等各个领域的科学家聚集在一起。医学科学并促进它们之间的合作。
