SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: CPW2016 - Bioinformatics and computational pathology summit Due to several requests we have decided to extend the MLSB 2016 submission deadline until Friday June 10. The workshop webpage (http://cpw.pathomation.com) has been updated to reflect the changes. When? Saturday, September 3, 2016. Where? Den Hague, Netherlands (during ECCB2016) Website? http://cpw.pathomation.com Digital pathology is increasingly used to study biological processes and diseases as novel molecular probing and imaging techniques allow the measurement of single molecules in whole tissue sections. Resulting multi-gigapixel images can be viewed on a computer screen via dedicated software. However, automated analysis of such large-scale datasets is challenging and their combination with omics data is not trivial. This workshop wants to facilitate bridging opportunities between the bioinformatics and tissue image analysis communities. This first edition is organized as a full-day workshop during ECCB 2016 (http://www.eccb2016.org). KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: The following keynote speakers have already agreed to speak at the conference: Jeroen Van der Laak, UMC Radboud Jeffrey Fine, Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC SUBMISSIONS: The conference solicits oral talks, posters, and proceeding papers contributions of original work or work that was recently accepted or published in a peer-reviewed journal or at a high level international conference. In the latter case, the publication reference should be clearly mentioned, and the abstracts should be checked mainly for relevance, rather than receive a full review. Conference proceedings will be published by the Journal of Pathology Informatics (http://www.jpathinformatics.org). The program committee will decide which contributions are selected for an oral presentation, and which ones are presented during a poster session. For submission instructions, please refer to https://www.fourwav.es/view/265/info/. SCOPE: Computational pathology exists at the interphase between bioinformatics, machine learning, and digital pathology (microscopy). Submissions from all topics of interest are welcome (non-exhaustive list): Machine learning and image analysis for quantification in digital pathology (in 2D & 3D), Novel approaches (e.g. spatial or graph-based methods) to extract high-level features (e.g. molecular networks or spatial expression patterns) from tissue images for systems pathology, Software development methodologies and tools to ease the exploitation of large tissue images and integration with omics data, Novel molecular imaging techniques on tissues (molecular pathology, next generation pathology) and their analysis challenges, e.g. in situ hybridization, mass spectrometry imaging of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, mass cytometry, and other spectroscopy techniques (Raman,...)... Research applications on non-human model organisms KEY DATES: Submission deadline: Friday June 10, 2016. Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2016. Conference: September 3, 2016.
