Welcome to CBHC 2026!
The Canadian Bioinformatics Hub Conference 2026 (CBHC 2026) marks the inaugural gathering of Canada’s bioinformatics, computational biology, and data science community. CBHC 2026 is organized by the Canadian Bioinformatics Hub (CBH), a CIHR and Genome Canada funded platform dedicated to training and community building.
Join us in downtown Toronto from May 27–29, 2026 for an exciting two-day scientific program, preceded by pre-conference workshops on May 27.
A key goal of this national event is to improve the visibility of Canada’s research strength in bioinformatics, computational biology, and data science. The conference will bring together Canada’s leading researchers, professionals, and trainees to:
- Showcase cutting-edge interdisciplinary computational research
- Enable collaboration and networking across sectors
- Celebrate Canadian achievements in bioinformatics & computational biology
What to Expect
