Extension deadline abstracts ICCB2013

We invite you to submit abstracts to the Fifth International Conference on Computational Bioengineering which will take place in Leuven, Belgium, on 11-13 September, 2013 (www.iccb2013.org/). 

The emphasis of ICCB2013 will be on 'Integration', which is central to many aspects of current Computational Bioengineering. The conference will bring together the latest and most relevant topics in the field of Integrative Computational Bioengineering. It will provide a forum for sharing technical knowledge and establishing networking opportunities. 

Research topics will cover all aspects of biology, physiology and pathology from the molecule to the body. Specifically, we will emphasize the following themes:

• integrative modeling
• multilevel modeling
• multiphysics modeling
• integration of models and experiments through model development and validation
• integration of technologies for model development, such as imaging, sensing, informatics
