3rd International Conference on AI in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (AIBCB 2026) July 28 ~ 29, 2026, Virtual Conference https://icbcs2026.org/index SCOPE The 3rd International Conference on AI in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology (AIBCB 2026) brings together a global community of researchers, innovators, and practitioners to explore the rapidly evolving landscape of computational life sciences. Building on the foundation of the previous ICBCS meetings, this year’s conference places a strong emphasis on the transformative role of artificial intelligence in shaping the future of biological discovery. Bioinformatics has become an essential pillar of modern life sciences, enabling breakthroughs through advanced computational approaches. As biological data grows in scale, complexity, and diversity from protein structures and cellular imaging to multi omics datasets and genomic sequences AI driven methods are unlocking new ways to interpret, model, and understand living systems. Computational biology and bioinformatics now stand at the intersection of biology, mathematics, computer science, and engineering, empowering researchers to generate new predictions, uncover hidden patterns, and reveal previously unknown biology. The 2026 edition of the conference aims to create a vibrant platform for participants from around the world to share their knowledge, present recent advances, exchange innovative ideas, and build
