Workshop on Large Foundation Models in Biology and Biomedicine

The rapid evolution of Large Foundation Models (LFMs) has transformed the landscape of biomedical research, clinical decision-making, and healthcare innovation. From decoding complex biological interactions to assisting in diagnosis and drug discovery, LFMs have demonstrated remarkable potential across a broad spectrum of biomedical applications. However, their adaptation to this highly specialized and sensitive domain presents unique challenges ranging from data scarcity and heterogeneity to issues of interpretability, fairness, and reproducibility. The Workshop on Large Foundation Models for Biology and Biomedicine (LFMBio 2026) aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to advance the science and practice of applying LFMs to biomedical problems. The workshop will serve as a forum for presenting original research, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, and exploring cutting-edge innovations in model design, multimodal integration, trustworthiness, and ethical deployment. We invite contributions that span foundational model development, performance optimization, knowledge representation, real-world clinical applications, and the societal impact of these powerful technologies.
