🎟️ SOLD OUT at #ISMB2026 Our tutorial IP2: Large Language Models and Agentic AI for Biomedical Informatics is the only sold-out tutorial on the entire ISMB 2026 program. Huge thanks to everyone who grabbed a seat so early. Organized and taught by @xwang174 (Virginia Tech), @WenqiShi0106 (UT Southwestern), @MarkGerstein (Yale), and me. We did not want this to be yet another "here is what an LLM is" walkthrough. The real question we want to sit with for 4 hours is bigger: What does the future of work in bioinformatics look like in the age of LLMs and agents? On the practical side, the afternoon covers the full stack a working computational biologist actually needs in 2026: The current LLM landscape, open source and commercial, and what each is good for in scientific settings / Prompt design that holds up under biomedical edge cases / Agentic systems that do multi step reasoning, tool use, and workflow orchestration for genuine biomedical tasks / The honest part: hallucination, bias, robustness, reproducibility, and what responsible use looks like in a clinical or scientific context Then we zoom out. Which parts of a computational biologist's day stay deeply human. Which parts get fully automated in the next 2 years. Where the next generation of bioinformaticians should be placing their bets, and what skills compound versus what skills depreciate. If you do any kind of biomedical data science, this is the conversation we think the field needs to have right now, and DC in July 2026 feels like the right room to have it in. 📍 Georgetown room, Washington Hilton 📅 Sunday, July 12, 2026, 14:00 to 18:00 ISMB returns to DC for the first time in over 30 years, to the same city where it started in 1993. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. 🧬
