Bioinformatics, an industry at the convergence of biology and data science, symbolizes the potential for revolutionizing developments in healthcare and research. The companies constituting this industry specialize in analyzing biological data, particularly genetic information, using sophisticated computer algorithms. Many are focused on areas like genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics. Rhode Island, though small, is home to a number of impressive players in the bioinformatics space, such as Nabsys and EpiVax, Inc. These companies offer products that range from complete electronic mapping solutions for genomic analysis, to immunoinformatics tools for vaccine development. Bioinformatics is an upward trend, promising groundbreaking solutions for high-definition genome mapping, disease prediction, and personalized healthcare.

• Headquarters: Providence, Rhode Island, United States
• Headcount: 1-10

InCoB was one of the first conferences to publish our top conference papers in international peer-reviewed impact-factored journals such as the BMC BioMed Central family of journals starting in InCoB 2006, Delhi India. The Asia Pacific Bioinformatics Network of bioinformatics practitioners throughout Asia, the Pacific and beyond, has teamed up with local national bioinformatics organisers each year to mount InCoB with every greater success. In InCoB 2007 Hong Kong, live sessions were narrow-casted to Hanoi to enable the region's developing country budding bioinformatics researchers to have a chance to take part and learn from others. In InCoB 2008 Taipei, we partnered the FAOBMB (Federation of Asian Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists) in running special bioinformatics workshops. In InCoB 2009 Singapore, we were the first to feature a Nobel Laureate keynote speaker. In addition, InCoB was able to launch an APBioNet initiative on Minimum Information About a Bioinformatics Investigation (MIABI). By InCoB 2010 Tokyo, Japan, we were having multiple journals featuring our top papers in multiple tracks. To date, we have our top papers published in several journals including BMC Bioinformatics, BMC Genomics, Immunome Research, IPSJ Transactions and Bioinformation. This year was the year we launched the BioDB100 initiative, which is the aim of gathering 100 bioinformatics databases which are MIABI-standards compliant under one interoperable framework. In InCoB 2011, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, APBioNet had the singular honour of having successfully won the bid for the 10th InCoB Conference designated the 1st ISCB Asia Joint Conference 2011, having clinched the honour amidst tough competition from the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB), with whom APBioNet has been affiliated for years. We organized this conference in collaboration with the International Immunomics Society (IIMMS) and the Malaysian Society of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (MaSBiC). We continued our tradition of ...

The Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM) was founded in 2010 by Brown Professors Jill Pipher (lead PI), Jeffrey Brock, Jan Hesthaven (now at EPFL), Jeffrey Hoffstein and Bjorn Sandstede, through a major grant to Brown University from the National Science Foundation, Division of Mathematical Sciences. The vision for ICERM is encapsulated in its mission statement: Our mission is to support and broaden the relationship between mathematics and computation: specifically, to expand the use of computational and experimental methods in mathematics, to support theoretical advances related to computation, and address problems posed by the existence and use of the computer through mathematical tools, research and innovation. ICERM supports its mission by developing and hosting research programs and activities that: • Encourage the creation of new computational methods to advance mathematical understanding. • Foster a deeper understanding of algorithms and computational tools. • Expose program participants to the use of simulation, visualization, experiments, or computer-assisted proofs. • Catalyze new directions of mathematical research through synergistic collaborations across disciplinary areas and research communities. • Advance the training and mentoring of graduate students and early-career postdoctoral researchers through exposure to new mathematical areas and computational methods. • The institute benefits from its strong ties to the mathematical sciences departments at Brown, and from the vibrant educational community of colleges and universities across New England.
