Authors are invited to submit a short paper (4-6 pages) describing their original contributions in the fields of bioinformatics, biostatistics, systems and synthetic biology, and medical informatics. Submitted contributions will undergo peer review before acceptance. All accepted contributions will be presented in plenary oral sessions and special sessions. Authors of accepted short papers are encouraged to post their short papers on preprint servers such as arXiv, bioRxiv, or medRxiv.

Submit your paper here by April 30th 2023 May 15th 2023: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cibb2023

The conference proceedings will be shared among the participants during the conference.

The proceedings will not be indexed on Scopus, but, after the conference, the authors of all the accepted short papers presented at the conference will be invited to submit an extended version of their manuscripts to the conference proceedings book in Springer Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics (LNBI), or to a supplement in a journal such as BMC Bioinformatics or BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making.
