Call for Highlights
Join us in advancing computational biology and bioinformatics!
BIOINFO/GIW-ISCB-Asia 2026 welcomes abstract submissions featuring research at the forefront of bioinformatics and computational biology. We encourage the submission of abstracts of already-published full papers, or papers accepted for publication between 1 May and the highlight track abstract submission deadline, August 15, 2026.
BIOINFO/GIW-ISCB-Asia 2026 embraces a broad interpretation of bioinformatics/computational biology. Topics of particular interest encompass, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI-Driven Structural Biology and Molecular Design
- Network biology and Systems biology
- Multi-omics Integration and Foundation Models
- Evolutionary Genomics and Pan-genomics
- Quantum Biology and Algorithms for Computational Biology
- Synthetic and Engineering Biology
- General Computational Biology and Bioinformatics
Abstracts: Submission Guidelines
The presenter should be identified during the submission process. 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 August 15, 2026. Participants who opt for (i) talk only or (ii) talk and poster are required to submit: • Both a 200-word abstract to be posted on the conference website AND a long abstract of up to two (2) pages in PDF format. Participants who opt for (iii) poster only are required to submit: • A 200-word abstract to be posted on the conference website. All abstracts must be submitted using the conference submission site by the abstract deadline: August 15, 2026
Abstract Preparation Guidance
The 200-word abstract should be a brief and concise summary of the background/motivation for the study, method and result (s), as well as a conclusion/statement of significance. The abstract is submitted through the Oxford Abstract submission system. Accepted abstracts (maximum 200 words) will be posted on the conference website. For authors requesting a talk you should upload a long abstract of up to two (2) pages in PDF format during the submission process, to provide additional details including figures and graphics that support the main points of the abstract. Do not submit more than two pages. Your abstract must not contain your title/position or any personal information (e.g. affiliation)
