Bertinoro (Forli) - Italy - 16-18 September, 2009. The IV International Conference on Computational Bioengineering - ICCB2009 - including the first European Symposium on Biomedical Integrative Research will be held in the suggestive University Residential Centre of Bertinoro, which is composed of three large historical and monumental buildings, in a quiet and hospitable place, surrounded by a very pleasant and peaceful atmosphere.

 Background: The use of mathematical modelling and computer simulation for the study and prediction of biological and biomedical processes is growing, covering all aspects of biology, physiology and pathology from the molecule to the body. Predictive models start to play a key role in clinical medicine, in biology, in pharmacology, in medical technology, in epidemiology.

Mission: The objective of this conference is to provide a forum for the discussion and the diffusion of the recent advances in Computational Bioengineering, including the so-called biomedical Integrative Research (Physiome, Virtual Physiological Human, Integrative biology, etc.) where predictive models describe disparate physiological or pathological sub-processes and are combined to obtain a more systemic understanding.

Coherent with the Team science inspiration of Integrative Research, the conference is intended also as an opportunity for researchers from all over the world to establish collaborations regardless of the geopolitics barriers, detecting areas of cooperation, and promoting the development of partnerships for new research and educational actions in bioengineering.

The organising committee invite you to fill in the pre-registration form to express your interest in participating - without any commitment of whatever sort - with the only intent to foresee the target dimension.
