We invite researchers working on topics such as predictive modelling of biological function and properties, generative and simulation-based approaches, adaptive experimental design, data integration, and other emerging areas to join this vibrant exchange on shaping the next generation of AI-enabled biological discovery.

Call for Papers

We welcome extended abstracts (2-4 pages, non-archival), including works-in-progress and preliminary results. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Prediction of biomolecular structures, properties, complexes, and interactions
  • Generative models for biological sequences and structures
  • Bayesian optimization and active learning for guided biological experimentation
  • Geometric and symmetry-aware deep learning for molecular representations
  • Interpretable and uncertainty-aware models for biological design
  • Multi-modal learning over sequence, structure, and functional data
  • Benchmarks, datasets, and evaluation protocols for biological design tasks
  • Foundation models for biology
  • Novel applications of AI in computational and experimental biology
  • Position papers and/or posters addressing fundamental challenges or limitations of AI in computational and experimental biology

Accepted submissions will be presented posters, with a select few being chosen as short spotlight talks, and will be made available on the workshop website. This is a non-archival workshop, allowing authors to publish full versions of their work at future venues.
