Description and Scope:
Bioinformatics is a fast growing scientific area aimed at managing, 
analyzing and interpreting information from biological data, sequences 
and structures. In the past few years, many Computational 
Intelligence and  Machine Learning algorithms have been successfully 
applied to the solution of complex problems typical of this field, 
including signal and image processing, clustering, feature selection, 
data visualization, and data mining. 

This session aims at highlighting recent advances in the applications 
of Neural Networks techniques to Bioinformatics, from improving 
protein-protein  interaction  to pharmacogenomic systems, from clustering 
to data visualization and mining.
