Intelligent biology and medicine: Accelerating innovative computational approaches.

In this editorial, we summarize the 2023 International Conference on Intelligent Biology and Medicine (ICIBM 2023) conference which was held on July 16-19, 2023 in Tampa, Florida, USA. We then briefly describe the nine research articles included in this special issue. ICIBM 2023 scientific program included four tutorials and workshops, four keynote lectures, four eminent scholars' presentations, 11 concurrent scientific sessions, and a poster session. We had total of 88 scientific oral presentations, including 62 regular oral presentations and 26 flash talks, as well as 46 poster presentations. The topics of these presentations covered artificial intelligence (AI), data sciences, bioinformatics, computational biology, genomics, biomedical informatics, among others. This special issue included nine peer reviewed manuscripts selected from those submitted to our conference. These articles cover a range of topics on the methods and applications of ML and AI models in the biomedical domain.
