La Jolla, CA -- Dr. Gary Fogel, vice president of Natural Selection, Inc.^®, has been named as an Associate Editor for the new IEEE Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (TCBB). The IEEE/ACM TCBB is jointly published by the IEEE Computer Society, the Association for Computing Machinery, the IEEE Neural Networks Society, and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. It is also co-sponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society. This new quarterly will publish archival research results related to the algorithmic, mathematical, statistical, and computational methods that are central in bioinformatics and computational biology; the development and testing of effective computer programs in bioinformatics; the development and optimization of biological databases; and important biological results that are obtained from the use of these methods, programs, and databases. Authors are encouraged to submit electronic manuscripts to tcbb@computer.org. “I am very pleased to serve on the editorial board of this new IEEE journal which will greatly assist in bridging the gap between biologists and computer scientists,” said Dr. Fogel.
