We invite abstracts for research that is topical to bioinformatics and computational biology, which is in progress (unpublished, formerly Late-Breaking Research) or previously published within the last 18 months (previously Highlights Track) for consideration for oral and/or poster presentation.
Your abstract should be submitted to the Communities of Special Interest (COSI) or Open Session Track that most accurately reflects the area of the work. (You will have the option to identify two other tracks that may also be suited to your research area during your submission). You can learn more about COSIs here.
Talks and posters are organized according to scientific topics which are covered by the COSIs and open sessions listed and described below. Please note, abstracts are not limited to COSI and open session topics and if the topic of your submission falls outside the listed COSIs you can choose the "General Computational Biology" area. Your abstract should convey a scientific result and should not be an advertisement for any commercial software package.
Multiple presentations
The same talk is not permitted to be given more than once as an oral presentation at ISMB. Research may be presented as both a talk and a poster if and only if it is submitted as two individual submissions with TWO different presenters. Having the same person deliver two (or more) different talks is NOT PERMITTED on the same topic. This allows for many people from one lab to present the work of the lab. A presenting author may present NO MORE THAN ONE talk or poster on the same topic.
For a variety of reasons, ISCB strongly prefers that scientific research accepted for oral presentation be presented in-person at the conference venue. We understand that some presenters will have valid reasons to avoid in-person attendance. ISCB will grant remote presentation options for reasons associated with maternity/paternity leave, care for a family member, personal/medical disability, sickness, financial hardship, or potential visa problems. If your research is accepted for oral presentation and you are unable to present in person, ISCB requires notification at the time of acceptance and no later than May 15, 2024. If unable to participate in person you will need to request a waiver by writing
Any pre-approved virtual presenters will be required to provide a pre-recorded talk for the virtual platform library in advance of the conference as a precaution due to possible technical issues.
ISMB/ECCB 2025 follows the ISCB policy for acceptable use of large language models (https://www.iscb.org/iscb-policy-statements/iscb-policy-for-acceptable-use-of-large-language-models).
Key Dates
Any recent research, published or unpublished is eligible for submission. Different submission types have different deadlines and notification dates. Be sure to check the below table or key dates page to find the dates relevant to your submission.
Poster only submissions DO NOT require any materials to be uploaded during submission. Submissions are evaluated on the 250 word text abstract provided during submission.
