[Goksel Misirli]

Dear all

We have extended the submission deadline for this year's Computational Modelling in Biology Network conference at Keele from 7 to 10 September 2026.  It would be great if you can join us and share the details below with your colleagues. 

Please get in touch for travel support if you have any questions. There is additional support for US-based students, including registration and travel. 

There will be opportunities to present talks, lightning talks (up to 5 minutes), and posters, in addition to attending various tutorials and breakouts. You can also propose your own tutorial and breakout sessions. Please see the topics of interest below.

If you have any questions, just let me know.

Best wishes

Goksel
