Special Session 1: Accelerating Drug Discovery Through Bioinformatics and Computational Structural Biology

The ICBCB 2026 technical program will highlight a series of Special Sessions to complement the regular program with new or emerging topics of particular interest to the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. Prospective organizers of Special Sessions should submit proposals with the following information:

Title of Special Session
Brief description of Special Session
Related topics
Name, Affiliation, E-mail, Short biography of the organizers
List of five to six contributed papers (including titles, authors, contact information of the corresponding author, and a short abstract). Upon acceptance of the special session proposal, the contributed papers will be submitted in the same format as regular papers. Organizers should not contribute more than one paper.

Proposals will be evaluated based on the timeliness of the topic and on the qualifications of the organizers and of the authors of the contributed papers as well.

papers in each accepted Special Session will undergo a review process, similar to the other regular papers. Accepted papers will be published by the conference proceedings, inclusion to indexing databases. It is the responsibility of the organizers to ensure that their Special Session papers meet ICBCB quality standards. In case a paper in a Special Session does not meet the expected quality, it will be rejected and an effort will be made to draw papers from the regular submission process to fill in the gap. If too many papers for a given Special Session are not accepted in the review process and we are unable to find suitable substitutes from the regular review pool, the Special Session may be canceled.

Any inquiries for submission or conference participation, please contact:  icbcb_contact@163.com.
