</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The safety and
well-being of all conference participants is our priority. After evaluating the
current COVID-19 situation and the restriction of the international travel, the
decision has been made to transform the in-person component of IEEE BIBM 2021
into an all-digital conference experience – IEEE BIBM 2021 will now be an
online event. Therefore, IEEE BIBM 2021 will no longer take place in Houston,
TX, USA and will instead take place virtually. The conference dates remain the
same – December 9-12, 2021. Proceedings will not be cancelled, and publications
will continue as planned.</span></p>
