2016 IEEE 6th Symposium on Biological Data Visualization (BioVis)

The symposiums serve as a platform for researchers from these fields to increase the impact of data visualization approaches in biology, and to initiate interdisciplinary collaborations.

The BioVis meetings are intended to educate, inspire, and engage visualization researchers in problems in biological data visualization, as well as bioinformatics and biology researchers in state-of-the-art visualization research. The workshops serve as a platform for researchers from these fields to increase the impact of data visualization approaches in biology, and to initiate interdisciplinary collaborations.

The rapidly expanding field of biology creates enormous challenges for data visualization techniques that enable researchers to gain insight from their large and highly complex data sets.

The BioVis Interest Group organizes the interdisciplinary event BioVis, covering all aspects of visualization in biology. This workshop brings together researchers from the visualization, bioinformatics, and biology communities with the purpose of educating, inspiring, and engaging visualization researchers in problems in biological data visualization as well as bioinformatics and biology researchers in state-of-the-art visualization research.
