IEEE BIBM 2026 Undergraduate and High School Symposium

The IEEE BIBM Undergraduate and High School Symposium provides an inclusive platform for the next generation of researchers to present their work in bioinformatics and biomedical computing. Hosted under the umbrella of the IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine, the symposium is designed to expose young scientists to the interdisciplinary world of computational biology, genomics, and health informatics. Participants gain experience presenting research, receiving expert feedback, and engaging with the broader biomedical computing community. The symposium actively nurtures early interest in careers spanning biology, medicine, and computer science.
