Bio-Informatics conferences

The ASM Bioinformatics, Genomics and Big Data Conference brings the microbiology community together around bioinformatics, genomics, and large-scale data methods, with registration open for the 2026 meeting in Washington, DC.

AMIA’s 2026 Annual Symposium examines how informatics can help health systems learn from data and improve patient outcomes. Its programme connects clinical informatics, translational bioinformatics and clinical research informatics through peer-reviewed papers, panels, workshops and posters. Topics include ambient AI, clinical decision support, real-world evidence, implementation science and governance, with attention to evaluating clinical data and translating research into individual and population care. Participants include clinicians, researchers, computer scientists, health IT specialists and policymakers. Programme leadership includes Victoria Tiase (University of Utah) and Adela Grando (Arizona State University); James Cimino (University of Alabama at Birmingham) presents an informatics year-in-review keynote. The meeting takes place in person November 7–11, 2026 at Hilton Anatole, 2201 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, TX 75207. All times are Dallas local time, America/Chicago (CST, UTC−06:00 on these dates). Saturday workshops run 08:30–12:00 and 13:00–16:30. Sunday workshops run 08:00–11:30, followed by the opening plenary at 13:30–15:00. Scientific sessions start at 08:00 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; Wednesday’s closing session is 11:15–12:15. Consult the linked official programme for individual sessions. Public registration is open to members and nonmembers and requires an AMIA account. Full registration includes workshops, with designated affiliate and selected special events excluded. Advance pricing through October 5 is USD 1,595 for nonmembers, USD 1,140 for professional members and USD 685 for student/trainee members; the corresponding standard rates are USD 1,770, USD 1,265 and USD 760. Some affiliate events and roundtables require separate invitations or registration.

This conference connects Latin American researchers using computation to investigate biological questions. Its programme combines invited lectures, contributed research, tutorials and networking across biomedical omics, microbial communities, comparative and population genomics, molecular sequences and structures, systems biology and networks. It brings together biology, computing, mathematics, statistics and medicine, while introducing scientists new to bioinformatics to tools for analysing biological data. Published keynotes examine AI integration of genomic and phenotypic data for antimicrobial resistance, diagnostics and biomarkers; inclusive genomic studies and biobanks addressing Latin American ancestry and health; network models of non-coding RNA and host-pathogen interactions for drug repurposing and precision medicine; and AI that moves from environmental sensing toward ecological explanation and conservation decisions. Keynote schedule, in Peru Time (PET, UTC−05:00): 11 November, 09:00–10:00 José Arturo Molina Mora (University of Costa Rica) and 16:30–17:30 Andrés Moreno-Estrada (Cinvestav); 12 November, 09:00–10:00 Deisy Morselli Gysi (Federal University of Paraná) and 16:30–17:30 Layla Hirsh Martinez (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú); 13 November, 11:00–12:00 Tanya Berger-Wolf (Ohio State University). These are the published keynote sessions; consult the organizer for other sessions. Attend in person at the Universidad de Ingeniería y Tecnología auditorium, Jr. Medrano Silva 165, Barranco, Lima, Peru, or virtually through the conference platform. The auditorium seats 320. Public registration accepts members and nonmembers. Current individual fees are USD 105–255 in person or USD 40–90 virtually, depending on career category and membership. Tutorials cost an additional USD 25 for members or USD 35 for nonmembers; the closing party costs USD 20. In-person fees include breaks and lunch. Both formats include virtual-platform and recorded-session access. Oral presenters are normally expected in person; remote presentation requires an approved waiver for qualifying barriers.

The 32nd Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing brings researchers together to present and discuss computational methods applied to biomedical problems, with emphasis on emerging, interdisciplinary areas of biocomputing.

A Keystone Symposium bringing together single-cell genomics, spatial biology, perturbation technologies, computational methods, and clinical translation across high-burden diseases.

EMBO | EMBL Symposium bringing machine-learning and life-science researchers together across sequencing, imaging and structural biology. Topics include foundation models, cross-modality learning, causal explanation, mechanistic interpretability, generative models and AI agents. Onsite workshops and tutorials take place on the first day; the following three days offer hybrid talks and posters. Registration is not yet open; the official page accepts expressions of interest.

The 35th ISMB conference joined with the 26th annual ECCB, hosted by the International Society for Computational Biology at the Bella Center Copenhagen and virtually - the year's most important computational biology event.
