Supported by National Science Foundation (NSF), International Society of Intelligent Biological Medicine (ISIBM), International Journal of Computational Biology and Drug Design and International Journal of Functional Informatics and Personalized Medicine, IEEE 7th Bioinformatics and Bioengineering attracted more than 600 papers and 500 researchers and medical doctors. It was the only synergistic inter/multidisciplinary IEEE conference with 24 Keynote Lectures, 7 Tutorials, 5 Cutting-Edge Research Workshops and 32 Scientific Sessions including 11 Special Research Interest Sessions that were designed dynamically at Harvard in response to the current research trends and advances. The committee was very grateful for the IEEE Plenary Keynote Lectures given by: Dr. A. Keith Dunker (Indiana), Dr. Jun Liu (Harvard), Dr. Brian Athey (Michigan), Dr. Mark Borodovsky (Georgia Tech and President of ISIBM), Dr. Hamid Arabnia (Georgia and Vice-President of ISIBM), Dr. Ruzena Bajcsy (Berkeley and Member of United States National Academy of Engineering and Member of United States Institute of Medicine of the National Academies), Dr. Mary Yang (United States National Institutes of Health and Oak Ridge, DOE), Dr. Chih-Ming Ho (UCLA and Member of United States National Academy of Engineering and Academician of Academia Sinica), Dr. Andy Baxevanis (United States National Institutes of Health), Dr. Arif Ghafoor (Purdue), Dr. John Quackenbush (Harvard), Dr. Eric Jakobsson (UIUC), Dr. Vladimir Uversky (Indiana), Dr. Laura Elnitski (United States National Institutes of Health) and other world-class scientific leaders. The Harvard meeting was a large academic event 100% full-sponsored by IEEE financially and academically. After a rigorous peer-review process, the committee selected 27 high-quality research papers from 600 submissions. The committee is grateful for contributions from keynote speakers Dr. Russ Altman (IEEE BIBM conference keynote lecturer on combining simulation and machine learning to recognize function in 4D), Dr. Mary Qu Yang (IEEE BIBM workshop keynote lecturer on new initiatives of detecting microscopic disease using machine learning and molecular biology, http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/servlet/opac?punumber=4425386) and Dr. Jack Y. Yang (IEEE BIBM workshop keynote lecturer on data mining and knowledge discovery in translational medicine) from the first IEEE Computer Society BioInformatics and BioMedicine (IEEE BIBM) international conference and workshops, November 2-4, 2007, Silicon Valley, California, USA.
由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）、国际智能生物医药学会（ISIBM）、《国际计算生物学与药物设计杂志》以及《国际功能信息学与个性化医学杂志》提供支持，第七届IEEE生物信息学与生物工程会议吸引了600多篇论文以及500名研究人员和医生。这是IEEE唯一一次具有协同性的跨学科/多学科会议，会议设有24场主题演讲、7场教程、5场前沿研究研讨会以及32场科学会议，其中包括11场特别研究兴趣会议，这些会议是在哈佛根据当前的研究趋势和进展动态设计的。委员会非常感谢以下人士发表的IEEE全会主题演讲：A. Keith Dunker博士（印第安纳大学）、刘军博士（哈佛大学）、Brian Athey博士（密歇根大学）、Mark Borodovsky博士（佐治亚理工学院以及ISIBM主席）、Hamid Arabnia博士（佐治亚大学以及ISIBM副主席）、Ruzena Bajcsy博士（伯克利分校以及美国国家工程院院士和美国国家科学院医学研究所成员）、Mary Yang博士（美国国立卫生研究院以及能源部橡树岭国家实验室）、Chih-Ming Ho博士（加州大学洛杉矶分校以及美国国家工程院院士和中央研究院院士）、Andy Baxevanis博士（美国国立卫生研究院）、Arif Ghafoor博士（普渡大学）、John Quackenbush博士（哈佛大学）、Eric Jakobsson博士（伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳 - 香槟分校）、Vladimir Uversky博士（印第安纳大学）、Laura Elnitski博士（美国国立卫生研究院）以及其他世界级科学领袖。哈佛会议是一项由IEEE在资金和学术上100%全额赞助的大型学术活动。经过严格的同行评审过程，委员会从600篇投稿中选出了27篇高质量研究论文。委员会感谢第一届IEEE计算机学会生物信息学与生物医药（IEEE BIBM）国际会议及研讨会（2007年11月2 - 4日，美国加利福尼亚州硅谷）的主题演讲嘉宾Russ Altman博士（IEEE BIBM会议主题演讲嘉宾，主题为结合模拟和机器学习识别4D中的功能）、Mary Qu Yang博士（IEEE BIBM研讨会主题演讲嘉宾，主题为利用机器学习和分子生物学检测微观疾病的新举措，http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/servlet/opac?punumber=4425386）以及Jack Y. Yang博士（IEEE BIBM研讨会主题演讲嘉宾，主题为转化医学中的数据挖掘和知识发现）所做出的贡献。
