ISCB-LATAM SoIBio SPBBC Conference on Bioinformatics 2026

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.
