In conjunction with IEEE BIBM 2026 Dec. 1–4, 2026 | Dallas, TX, USA

Introduction

This workshop focuses on the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the fields of a pioneering integration of computational biology, bioinformatics, medical image processing, and graph signal processing (GSP) for healthcare services.

Participants in this workshop are expected to present their research how AI based processing generalizes traditional signal processing to irregular graph structures, enabling advanced analysis of biological networks derived from genomics, proteomics, and multimodal medical imaging data.

Methodological Focus & Applications

The fusion of AI techniques such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, NLP-based models extract insights from biomedical literature and genomic sequences. This holistic approach bridges fostering innovations in multiomics integration and 3D biomolecular structure prediction on geometric data. Key areas of exploration include:

  • Generative Frameworks: Models such as diffusion models or GANs not only synthesize realistic patient data and molecular structures, but also tackle real-world challenges in precision medicine i.e. from single-cell sequencing diversity mapping to anomaly detection in neuroimaging graphs.
  • Predictive Analytics: Through interactive sessions, we will explore the capabilities of AI algorithms in processing and predicting treatment outcomes and devising the most efficacious treatment combinations, underscoring the contribution of AI to more accurate and individualized patient care.
  • Emerging Integrations: NLP-enhanced graph-based fusion of MRI/CT images with genomic signals for robust diagnostics, generative model-driven augmentation of sparse datasets, quantum-enhanced simulations of biological systems, and ethical AI frameworks for biotech.

Target Audience: This workshop is intended for researchers, faculty members, and industry engineers specializing in electronics, communication, computer science, and information technology within biomedical contexts. The sessions will emphasize practical implementations utilizing tools such as MATLAB for GSP filters, advanced AI models, and NLP pipelines (e.g., BioBERT and generative transformers).

Workshop Outcomes: Participants can expect to develop collaborative project concepts, generate proposal templates for research funding, and establish a roadmap for scalable biomedical intelligence platforms. The workshop aims to position attendees at the forefront of interdisciplinary research in 2026, facilitating significant breakthroughs in diagnostic procedures and treatment efficacy.
