Description
 
We are organizing the International Workshop on Topological Data Analysis in Biomedicine (TDA-Bio) on Sunday, October 2, 2016, as part of the 7th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM-BCB, http://acm-bcb.org/).

This workshop will present a concise yet self-contained overview of the key aspects of topological data analysis (TDA), with an eye toward motivating the application of these techniques to problems in bioinformatics and computational biology (BCB) as well as medicine.

We have assembled an excellent list of speakers. All talks promise to be highly accessible to a general audience who might not have a background in TDA. There will also be a demo session and a panel discussion.

We expect some funding from NSF to support the participation of graduate students in the workshop. Graduate students will be required to submit an online application to the organizers outlining their background, research interests, and reasons for why they want to attend TDA-Bio. Students from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Please see the conference web page for more info.

The deadline for travel support application is August 12th, decisions will be made by August 13 before the early registration deadline on August 15.

Hope to see you in Seattle!
