Every file that's uploaded needs to be processed, that's a video from every virtual talk, a video and/or PDF from every in-person poster, and a video and a PDF from every virtual poster. This takes a substantial amount of time on top of travelling to the venue (often internationally), setting up the venue, coordinating volunteers, opening the virtual platform, troubleshooting attendees who try to access said platform, printing delegate name tags, preparing opening slides, organizing awards, identifying dietary requirements, running pre-conference tutorials, processing recordings from completed tutorials, answering questions from delegates who are arriving at the venue, organizing all other ongoing ISCB conferences and affiliated events, and continuing day-to-day upkeep for the Society. These deadlines don't exist in a vacuum which is why they're broadcast as early and often as they are.
The annual international conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) is the flagship meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). The 2025 meeting is the 33rd ISMB conference, which has grown to become the world's largest bioinformatics and computational biology conference. Joining forces with the European Conference on Computational Biology (the 24th Annual Conference), ISMB/ECCB 2025 will be the year's most important computational biology event!
The international meeting will be held in-person at the ACC Liverpool—a leading conference and event venue in the UK—and virtually through ISCB's Nucleus platform.
The principal focus of the joint ISMB/ECCB conference is on the development and application of advanced computational methods to address biological problems, and brings together researchers from computer science, bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular biology, mathematics, statistics, and related fields. The conference provides a multidisciplinary platform for sharing the latest advancements in bioinformatics and computational biology, fostering new dialogues and perspectives to shape the future of the field.
In addition, with the ever-increasing interest in ISCB’s Communities of Special Interest (COSIs), conference organization actively involves COSIs in program development to help highlight emerging research areas and to deliver an exceptional and research-driven event!
In-person participants will have the opportunity to enjoy:
in-person training workshops and tutorials
the Student Council Symposium
more than 500 expected scientific talks
exclusive networking events
the ability to make new connections when utilizing the attendee profile and match maker features within the virtual platform
the option to schedule one-on-one time with speakers, poster presenters, exhibitors, and sponsors to learn more about their work, products, or services
exclusive access to the ISMB/ECCB 2025 on-demand repository of talks and poster presentations to catch up on any missed sessions
Virtual participants can enjoy:
livestream and on-demand access to sessions and tutorials, benefiting attendees from all time zones
a live question and answer feature to engage with the speaker during sessions
the live chat feature to engage with other participants within virtual session rooms
the ability to make new connections when utilizing the attendee profile and match maker features within the virtual platform
exclusive access to the ISMB/ECCB 2025 on-demand repository of talks and poster presentations to catch up on any missed sessions
ISMB/ECCB 2025 bolsters its reputation as the leading conference in the field, with the strongest scientific and technical program that showcases the best international developments in bioinformatics and computational biology.
Get ready to join us July 20–24 in Liverpool, United Kingdom!
