Proceedings 2nd Annual IEEE International Symposium on Bioinformatics and Bioengineering (BIBE 2001)

The BIBE Symposium provides a unique opportunity to researchers, scientists, and practitioners to shape knowledge and scientific achievements by bridging two very important research fields, bioinformatics and bioengineering, into an interactive and attractive forum. Both bioinformatics and bioengineering advance fundamental concepts, create knowledge from the molecular to the organ and living organism levels, and develop innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices, software-hardware tools, and methods for the prevention, detection, monitoring, signaling, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases; for patient rehabilitation; for improving health; for development of new biocomputing systems, for genome research in the development of new drugs, and for the interpretation of complex biological processes. The BIBE 2001 topics of interest include DNA and genome databases and techniques, genomics, protein structures, bioinformatics tools, cell searching and tracking approaches, biomedical applications, neural models, and dynamic bio-imaging
