ISCB invites abstract submissions for research in bioinformatics and computational biology, whether in progress (unpublished) or previously published within the last 18 months. Abstracts should align with relevant Communities of Special Interest (COSI) or Open Session Tracks. While multiple presentations are allowed, the same talk cannot be given more than once orally at the conference. 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. A presenting author may present no more than one talk or poster on the same topic.

An in-person presentation is preferred, but remote options are considered for specific circumstances. As a precaution due to possible technical issues, pre-approved virtual presenters must provide a pre-recorded talk for the virtual platform. 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 you are unable to participate in person, you will need to request a waiver by writing presentationwaiver@iscb.org.
