Innovations'08 - Special Session

Realtime visual analysis and visual communication of in-vivo and in-silico biology

5th International Conference on Innovations in Information Technology
December 16-18, 2008, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates

Call for papers

Blood cells

In this session we aim to describe what we consider as currently the most innovative trend in bioinformatics. We focus on 3D visualizations for analysis and scientific communication in biotechnology and the pharmaceutical domain. We aim to show how real-time visual data analysis helps scientists and medical professionals to better cope with and understand their massive data sets. We also show how these 3D visual representations can be used in terms of achieving better visual communication aids for more clear, transparent and easily comprehensible presentations targeting investors, medical doctors, scientists and students.
