Call for volunteers and mentors!

We’re looking for volunteers to support the ISCB Youth Bioinformatics Symposium 2026 (YBS) Scientific Student Challenge. This year's topic: Bioinformatics to Understand Mental Health Disorders

This is a great opportunity to work with and support the next generation of bioinformatics researchers!

In addition to volunteers, we're also seeking mentors to provide light guidance to student teams in May and early June, as well as reviewers to evaluate submissions during the July 1–8 review period.

If you're interested in contributing your time and expertise to support the next generation of bioinformatics researchers, please complete this form to indicate your availability and preferred role(s). Individuals selected as reviewers will be notified on May 1st.
