Dear all
The “Computational Modelling in Biology” Network (COMBINE) is an initiative to coordinate the development of various community standards and formats in systems biology, synthetic biology, and related fields. COMBINE 2026 will be hosted at Keele University, UK, from September 7th to 10th, 2026. This workshop-style event will include talks, tutorials and breakout sessions for detailed discussions about these standards, related efforts, and tools.
We are pleased to announce that registration is now open. Abstract submission is also open for talks, tutorials, breakout sessions, lightning talks, and posters. All information, including important dates, venue details, travel and accommodation, is available at:
