Dear Colleague,
 
We are pleased to share with you the latest news on CMBBE2015 (http://cmbbe2015.com).
 
We have a top class program of Invited Keynote presentations, special sessions, oral and poster presentations, exhibits, workshops, prizes/awards and sponsorship from major experts in the field and biomechanics based organisations.
See full list of topics and special sessions at: http://cmbbe2015.com/topics.
 
Innovative presentations are invited in computational biomechanics, imaging and visualization.
In particular, papers are invited in the area of ‘Imaging and Visualization’ which is a new area for the meeting and this is also now supported by a major prize offered through sponsorship.
 
The deadline for oral presentations submission is: 24th July 2015.
Please note that papers will be reviewed on a continuous basis up the closing date, for abstract submission see: http://cmbbe2015.com/sample-page.

 
The editors of the Taylor and Francis Journals CMMBE (John Middleton and Chris Jacobs - www.tandf.co.uk/gcmb) and the new Imaging and Visualization Journal (Joao Manuel R.S. Tavares - www.tandfonline.com/tciv) will attend the meeting together with many of the Editorial Board members.
Submitting authors and delegates are invited to meet the editors and discuss publication and submission of full length papers to the journals.
