We are delighted to invite you to InSyB2026, the theme of which is “AI and Bioinformatics for Precision Health and Medicine”. The symposium will include invited talks, presentations of original research results and workshops. InSyB is a flagship annual event of the Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network (APBioNET), established in 1998 and is one of the oldest and most notable bioinformatics organisations in the Asia & Pacific region. This year, the APBioNet exco’s InSyB Steering Committee has awarded 10th InSyB 2026 to be hosted by the National University of Singapore.

The 10th InSyB 2026 is held in conjunction with the 30th Anniversary of the Bioinformatics Centre (BIC), National University of Singapore (https://www.bic.nus.edu.sg/), one of the earliest bioinformatics organisations in the Asia Pacific region, and the founding members founded the APBioNet in 1998 and its flagship event, the InCoB conference series (founded in 2002). This event also coincides with the BIC 30th Anniversary Awards which will be presented during the gala dinner to be held immediately after the symposium.

InSyB 2026 is also designated a Biochem100 Centennial Celebrations event of the 100th Anniversary of the Department of Biochemistry, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, the department where BIC was founded in 1996 as a national centre, and where its predecessor groups, Biocomputing Interest Group (BIG) and the Bioinformatics Resource User Support (BRUS) was set up in 1991/92.

APBSCS 2026: The 2nd APBioNET Student Symposium

From Ideas to Impact:

The APBioNET Student Council Symposium 2026

The APBioNET Student Council is pleased to announce the second edition of its Student Council Symposium (APBSCS26), an academic forum for undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early‑career researchers in bioinformatics and computational biology. The symposium will take place on 14 September 2026 at Royale Chulan Hotel, Penang. Its core objectives are to provide a constructive venue for research presentation, enable feedback from peers and senior investigators, and foster a supportive professional network.

Submissions are invited across a broad range of topics, including single‑cell and spatial omics, artificial intelligence in biomedicine, cancer genomics, protein structure and design, metagenomics, systems biology, and bioinformatics education. Both methodological advances and applied studies are equally welcome. Presenters may choose between oral and poster formats.

Beyond the formal programme, the symposium serves as a gateway to the wider APBioNET community. Participants will gain fresh perspectives, establish cross‑institutional collaborations, and acquire tangible career insights. Attendees may extend their experience by joining the main InCoB/ISCB‑APAC 2026 conference.
