ISCB-UK 2026 welcomes abstract submissions featuring research at the forefront of bioinformatics and computational biology. We encourage the submission of original work for consideration for oral and/or poster presentation.
All presentations are categorized based on scientific topics, ensuring a cohesive organization of talks and posters. Please ensure that your abstract communicates a scientific result and refrains from serving as an advertisement for any commercial software package or products.
ISCB-UK embraces a broad interpretation of bioinformatics/computational biology. Topics of particular interest encompass, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI and machine learning in Biology and Medicine
- Bioinformatics resources and infrastructure
- Databases, Ontologies and Biocuration
- Disease Bioinformatics/Translational Medicine
- Cancer genomics and personalised medicine
- Evolutionary, Comparative Genomics and Phylogenetics
- Metagenomics and Microbiome Analysis
- Multi-Omic Informatics
- Network Biology and Systems Biology
- Protein/RNA Structure Analysis, Prediction and Design
- Single-Cell Analysis
- Drug Discovery and Repurposing
- Bioinformatics Education
- General Computational Biology
Abstracts: Submission Guidelines
Presenters of accepted abstracts are required to make the presentation themselves and must register and pay to attend the conference.
Submitters may choose to have their submission reviewed for: (i) talk only, (ii) talk and poster or (iii) poster only. If you select talk and poster, and are unsuccessful for a talk, your abstract will automatically be considered for a poster presentation. Submissions must be received by Thursday, February 5, 2026.
