## Call for papers

The 17th ACM Conference on Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, and Health Informatics (ACM-BCB 2026) is the flagship conference of ACM SIGBio. It will move for the first time to Europe and will be held in Calabria, Italy from June 30 to July 3, 2026. The conference aims to promote big data, AI and algorithms for health and biomedicine including cutting-edge advances in computational biology, bioinformatics, and health informatics, at the intersection of computer science, biology, health and medicine. The conference will be hosted at University of Calabria Congress Center. The conference will be hosted at the University of Calabria Congress Center. Please visit the conference website for details: https://acm-bcb.org. This year for the first time, ACM BCB submitted papers will go through a two phase review process aiming to publish accepted papers in a ACM new journal format. By the two phase review process, authors can refine their work based on constructive critiques from reviewers. The updated paper version can thus be considered in a second phase review process. Accepted papers will then be included in a new journal published by ACM. The journal will be indexed by Scopus, WOS and DBLP. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) Haplotypes and Population Genomics Computational Drug Discovery Multi-omics Integration and Analysis Genomic Variation and Disease Phylogenetics Protein Analysis, Structure, and Dynamics Biomedical Imaging Analysis and Informatics Metagenomics and Microbiomes Pharmacogenomics Biological Networks and Systems Biology Biomedical Knowledge Graphs AI and Machine Learning in Biology, Medicine, and Healthcare Explainable AI and AI Interpretability Trustworthy AI and Agentic AI Natural Language Processing for Biomedicine and Health Large Language Model (LLM) for Biomedicine and Health Semantic Representation of LLMs Harmonization of Multimodal Health Data Health Data Space, Ontologies and Standards Computational Phenotyping Multimodality Biomedical Data Analysis Biomedical and Health Data Visualization Wearable Sensor Informatics Computational Epidemiology Computer-Assisted Diagnosis and Recommendation System Security and Privacy of Biomedical and Health Data Social Media Analysis for Healthcare
