ISMB/ECCB 2027
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.
Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 2027
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.
Engineering Biology Collaborative R&D: Round 3
This business-led collaborative research and development competition will fund new engineering-biology products, processes and services and de-risk technologies with strong market potential. Projects may address health, agriculture and food, chemicals and materials, low-carbon fuels, waste and environment, or cross-cutting technology and service development. The central innovation must purposefully engineer biological systems and may involve biosensors, biomanufacturing, synthetic-biology platforms, gene editing, AI or computational biology. Projects must have total eligible costs of £750,000 to £2.5 million, last 12 to 36 months and begin no earlier than 1 April 2027. The open competition closes on 3 November 2026 at 11:00am UK time.
25 PhD Positions (m/f/d) | Max Planck School of Biomedical AI
The Max Planck School of Biomedical Artificial Intelligence is recruiting its first cohort for 25 fully funded, structured three-year PhD positions at the interface of AI and the life sciences. Doctoral researchers will develop computational and AI methods for molecular and cellular systems, protein and molecule design, complex biological traits and neural networks, with dual supervision by fellows from complementary backgrounds. The programme spans more than 30 research groups across Germany and includes annual interdisciplinary schools, conference funding and mentoring. Applications close on 1 December 2026 for a September 2027 start.

Aging Brain Initiative Symposium: Cellular & Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration
The Aging Brain Initiative is an ambitious interdisciplinary effort by MIT focusing on understanding neurodegeneration and efforts to find hallmarks of aging, both in health and disease. The Initiative is broad, made up of scientists in several areas, including systems neuroscience, cell biology, engineering and computational biology, with core investigators from the Departments of Biology, Brain & Cognitive Sciences, Biological Engineering, and Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Labs. "The theme of this symposium is Cellular & Molecular Mechanisms of Neurodegeneration.
