The BioVis meetings are intended to educate, inspire, and engage visualization researchers in problems in biological data visualization, as well as bioinformatics and biology researchers in state-of-the-art visualization research.
There are multiple ways to participate in BioVis through conferences and ongoing events. This year, the main BioVis event will be at ISMB as a Community of Special Interest (COSI) in July 14, 2026 in Washington, DC, USA. A smaller workshop event will be held at IEEE VIS on November 9 - 13, 2026 in Boston, Massachusetts. These events serve as a platform for researchers from biology, bioinformatics, and information visualization fields to increase the impact of data visualization approaches in biology, and to initiate interdisciplinary collaborations. Get involved in our events at a conference or challenge (or both!).
We are excited to announce that the invited speakers for BioVis@ISMB 2026 have been confirmed. The program will feature invited talks from Jean Fan of Johns Hopkins University and Liz Marai of the University of Illinois Chicago, with the rest of the program to be announced soon.
