About this title

Synopsis

This timely book identifies and highlights the latest data mining paradigms to analyze, combine, integrate, model and simulate vast amounts of heterogeneous multi-modal, multi-scale data for emerging real-world applications in life science. The cutting-edge topics presented include bio-surveillance, disease outbreak detection, high throughput bioimaging, drug screening, predictive toxicology, biosensors, and the integration of macro-scale bio-surveillance and environmental data with micro-scale biological data for personalized medicine. This collection of works from leading researchers in the field offers readers an exceptional start in these areas.
