The RECOMB/ISCB Conference on Regulatory and Systems Genomics with DREAM Challenges, is one of the premier annual meetings in the fields of regulatory genomics, systems biology, and network visualization. This multidisciplinary conference brings together both computational and experimental researchers from across the world to discuss recent discoveries about genomic and molecular regulatory networks as well as innovative, integrative methods for developing a systems-level understanding of biological activity.
2025 ISMB/ECCB Conference with DREAM Challenges
July 20 – 24, 2025 in Liverpool, UK
Join us at ISMB/ECCB 2025 for the DREAM Challenges session on Foundation Models! The session “Benchmarking in the Age of Foundation Models in Biomedicine” is on July 21 at 2:00 pm).
Foundation models represent a new paradigm in biomedicine—one that challenges how we approach rigorous benchmarking. This session will explore that shift and introduce an exciting experiment in crowdsourced evaluation of LLMs.
We’re thrilled to feature two keynote speakers, Anshul Kundaje (Stanford) and Dr. Bo Wang (Univ of Toronto), along with an outstanding roster of speakers: Julio Saez Rodriguez (EMBL-EBI), Maria Brbic (EPFL), Pablo Meyer Rojas (IBM Research), Katrina Kalantar (CZI) and Justin Guinney (Tempus AI).
This session is made possible through the generous support of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the European Bioinformatics Institute | EMBL-EBI, and Tempus AI.
