Dear all, We are thrilled to announce that BioInference2026 is going to St Andrews, Scotland, from the 10th to the 12th of June, 2026! BioInference brings together researchers from statistics and mathematical modelling who work on biological systems, creating a lively space for exchanging ideas, sparking collaborations, and building community across all career stages. After last year’s successful three-day meeting in Bardonecchia, we’re excited to return with another three days packed with invited and contributed talks, poster sessions, and dedicated networking opportunities. ________________________________ Call for Abstracts We now invite submissions for oral or poster presentations on any work involving mathematical modelling, statistical methods, or machine learning approaches for broadly interpreted biological problems. All presentations will be in person with no parallel sessions.
