Recent advances in artificial intelligence, including machine learning, deep learning, large language models (LLMs), and foundation models, together with high-throughput biotechnologies, are transforming biological and biomedical research. Integrating diverse data types—including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, microbiome, imaging, and clinical data—has become essential for understanding complex biological systems and accelerating translational discoveries.

M³AI-Bio 2026 provides an international forum for researchers working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, systems biology, and translational bioinformatics. The workshop focuses on multimodal and multi-omics data integration, interpretable AI, foundation models, and computational approaches for biological knowledge discovery. We welcome original research that advances AI-driven methodologies for understanding biological processes, disease mechanisms, biomarker discovery, and precision medicine.

•  Multi-omics data integration and analysis  

• Multimodal data integration in biological and biomedical systems  

• Integration of omics data with imaging, phenotypic, environmental and biomedical applications 

• Cross-domain and cross-species data integration  

• Machine learning, deep learning, foundation models, and AI-driven methods for biological data integration 

• Large language models, foundation models, and generative AI for biological data  

• Interpretable, robust, and scalable AI methods  

• Knowledge-driven and hybrid computational modelling approaches  

•  Reconstruction and analysis of biological networks and pathways  

•  Modelling and simulation of regulatory, signalling, and metabolic networks  

• Genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics data analysis  

• Single-cell and spatial multi-omics data analysis and visualisation 

• Microbiome and metagenomics data analysis and integration  

• Time-series and dynamic biological data analysis  

• Biomarker discovery using integrative approaches  

• Drug discovery and repurposing using multi-omics data  

• Translational bioinformatics and precision medicine  

• Complex network analysis in systems biology 

Accepted papers will be included in the IEEE BIBM 2026 Conference Proceedings.

🌍 Hybrid Participation🌍
The workshop is planned to support both onsite and online participation, enabling researchers from around the world to present and engage with the scientific community.

📄 IEEE Conference Proceedings📄
All accepted workshop papers will be published in the IEEE BIBM 2026 Conference Proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

🤝 Integrated with IEEE BIBM 2026🤝
Workshop participants will have access to the broader IEEE BIBM 2026 conference, including keynote lectures, technical sessions, and networking opportunities.

We warmly encourage researchers working in areas relevant to M³AI-Bio 2026 to submit their work and join us at IEEE BIBM 2026. 

Researchers submitting to M³AI-Bio 2026 may be able to access travel or participation support through COST Conference Grants offered by COST Actions relevant to their research.

Depending on eligibility and the funding opportunities available within the relevant COST Action, support may be available through schemes such as ITC Conference Grants and Young Researcher and Innovator (YRI) Conference Grants.

Net4Brain (CA22103) may support up to two eligible participants attending M³AI-Bio 2026 through the relevant COST Conference Grant mechanism. Funding is subject to eligibility, availability, and the Action’s grant-awarding process.

Participants are also encouraged to explore funding opportunities through other COST Actions relevant to their research, particularly those working in areas such as artificial intelligence, multi-omics, systems biology, microbiome research, precision medicine, and translational bioinformatics.

Please note: funding is not administered or guaranteed by M³AI-Bio 2026. Eligibility, grant amounts, application procedures, and deadlines are determined independently by each COST Action.
