20th Conference on Computational Intelligence methods for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics   (CIBB 2025)

September 10 – 12 2025, Milan, Italy – CIBB 2025 | Politecnico di Milano
 

SPECIAL SESSION: SPATIAL OMICS DATA ANALYSIS

CALL FOR SHORT PAPERS

Short paper submission deadline: 30 April 2025
 
SPECIAL SESSION AIMS AND SCOPE
In the single-cell biology era spatial approaches have become fundamental for understanding biological complexity. This has been established by some of the last Nature Methods of the Year (2024- Spatial Proteomic, 2020 Spatially Resolved Transcriptomics). Under the umbrella of Spatial-omics a variety of different technologies are encompassed, each of them requiring a dedicated bioinformatic approach.
The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers who are working on the development of methods and models in the fields of spatial omics data analysis to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas in this innovative and fundamental research area.
 
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Authors are invited to submit a short paper (4-6 pages) presenting their original research. Paper submissions will be handled through EasyChair platform and detailed instructions on the submission process will be provided later.
Instructions for submitting the manuscript are available on the conference website: CIBB 2025 | Politecnico di Milano.
After the conference, the authors of all accepted contributions presented at the conference will be invited to submit an extended version of their manuscripts to Lecture Notes or a selected journal. Accordingly, we are currently discussing this option with Frontiers, BMC and Springer Lecture Notes.
