[Ieee_vis] Bio+MedVis Challenge at VIS 2023 - deadline extension

[Barbora Kozlikova]

The Bio+MedVis challenge is announcing that, based on several
requests, we decided to extend the submission deadline by one week to
August 17. So the new important dates are the following:

Submission: August 17, 2023
Notification: August 14, 2023
Camera-ready version: August 31, 2023

The Bio+MedVis challenge is a yearly event for everyone interested in
the interface between biology, medicine, and visualization. The
challenge provides cutting-edge data with an opportunity to showcase
your creative skills to find new ways of visual exploration toward new
scientific discoveries. This year’s challenge will be based on a study
recently published in Cancer Cell by the ProCan team (Gonçalves et
al., 2022). The study aimed to generate a comprehensive pan-cancer
proteomic map of human cell lines to aid in the discovery of cancer
biomarkers and the development of new cancer treatments. The main
challenge will be to create an integrated overview of cell-type /
tissue-type / cancer-type distributions of both single proteins as
well as protein categories. There will also be a re-design challenge
connected to improving the representation/interaction strategies used
for one of the figures in the paper.

The best submissions will be invited to present their work during the
conference.
