Call for Papers & Recruit Reviewers @ ICLR Workshop on GenAI in Genomics (Gen2)

[Maria Skoularidou]

Dear all,

We are excited to announce our ICLR2026 workshop: Generative AI in Genomics (Gen2): Barriers and Frontiers in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (supporting a hybrid format with a virtual component)! 

We focus on identifying barriers to deepening biological impact for GenAI in genomics, especially towards targeted engineering of cellular & tissue states, and mapping the next frontiers: from data generation priorities to model design & evaluation.

We are now calling for submission: 

Call for: Full workshop papers (5-8 pages) and Tiny papers (2-4 pages) 

Submission deadline: 7 February 2026 AoE

Learn more: genai-in-genomics.github.io

This is a non-archival venue, so workshop submissions should not preclude later publication of the work. We additionally allow for parallel submissions to other workshops and venues.

We are also recruiting reviewers:
