EAI Endorsed Transactions on Bioengineering and Bioinformatics (BEBI), formerly EAI Endorsed Transactions on Ambient Systems, aims at building intelligent synergies and systems among Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Bioengineering and Biomedicine these complementary disciplines that hold great promise for the advancement of research and development in complex medical and biological systems, agriculture, environment, public health, drug design. Research and development in these areas are impacting the science and technology in fields such as medicine, food production, forensics, etc. by advancing fundamental concepts in molecular biology, by helping us understand living organisms at multiple levels, by developing innovative implants and bio-prosthetics, and by improving tools and techniques for the detection, prevention and treatment of diseases. The BEBI will provide a common platform for the cross fertilization of ideas, and for shaping knowledge and scientific achievements by bridging these very important and complementary disciplines into an interactive and attractive forum.
