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!
