The 20th International Conference on Data and Text Mining in Biomedical Informatics (DTMBIO)

October 6-9, 2026   

                                               

The DTMBIO 2026 organizers are pleased to announce that the 20th DTMBIO will be held.

The main focus of DTMBIO is on biomedical informatics, genomics, and bioinformatics.

DTMBIO 2026 is partnered with Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal (CSBJ).

DTMBIO delegates will bring forth interesting applications of up-to-date informatics in the context of biomedical research. 


Biological researchers face the current challenge of making effective use of the enormous amount of electronic biomedical data in order to better understand and explain complex biological systems.

The biomedical data repositories include data in a wide variety of forms, including bibliographic information from electronic medical journals, gene expression data from sequencing experiments, protein identification and quantification data from proteomics experiments, genomic sequences gathered by massively parallel sequencing, and patient healthcare records. 

The ability to automatically and effectively extract, integrate, understand and make use of information embedded in such heterogeneous – structured and unstructured – data remains a challenging task.


We invite the submission of papers that propose ways to address the variety of aspects involved in meeting this challenge.


Topic of Interest

The relevant topics include the following (but not limited to):

  • Big bio- or clinical- data analytics
  • Biomedical and clinical text mining applications
  • Integration of structured and unstructured resources for biomedical applications
  • Information extraction from biomedical and clinical corpora (published literature, grey literature, EHRs, clinical trials, etc.)
  • Information retrieval from large biomedical data collections
  • Genomic/transcriptomic sequence data analysis
  • Gene sequence annotation
  • Protein/RNA structure prediction
  • Human microbiome analysis
  • Medical ontologies and text mining
  • Entity or concept recognition in text with ontologies
  • Sequence and structural motifs
  • Modeling of biochemical pathways and biological networks
  • Image mining in medical and healthcare informatics
  • Data and text mining solutions in biomedical informatics, for applications such as drug development, system biology, biomedical working processes
  • Information integration for data and text mining
  • Mining multi-relational data
  • Proposal and assessment of novel text mining evaluation strategies
  • Evaluation methods of biomedical applications, shared tasks


Submission Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered

for publication in any other forum. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, 

In PDF format and formatted using the CSBJ Bioinformatics templates

(available in https://spj.science.org/page/csbj/for-authors).


Full papers:

Submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work.

Full papers may consist of up to eight pages. Full papers will be presented at the conference.


All accepted full papers will be invited for a special issue of following journal.

  • Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, CSBJ (SCI, IF:4.1)


Short papers:

DTMBIO 2026 solicits short papers as well.

Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work.

Short papers will be presented at the conference, and will be given four pages in the proceedings.


Posters:

We solicit high-quality posters that describe work not previously presented or published.

Posters will be presented at the conference, and abstracts must be submitted for consideration.

The poster template can be downloaded below, and abstracts should be submitted via EasyChair.
The poster does not need to be submitted separately; presenters may print it out and bring it on the day of the conference.
