Call For Paper 2020 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (IEEE BIBM 2020) December 16-19, 2020, https://ieeebibm.org/BIBM2020/ *IEEE BIBM 2020 – Now Taking Place Virtually* The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our priority. After evaluating the current COVID-19 situation, the decision has been made to transform the in-person component of IEEE BIBM 2020 into an all-digital conference experience – IEEE BIBM 2020 will now be an online event. Therefore, IEEE BIBM 2020 will no longer take place in Seoul, South Korea and will instead take place virtually. The conference dates remain the same – December 16-19, 2020. Proceedings will not be cancelled, and publications will continue as planned. The IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM) has established itself as the premier research conference in bioinformatics and biomedicine. IEEE BIBM 2020 provides a leading forum for disseminating the latest research in bioinformatics and health informatics.
