Introduction

We are pleased to announce the first IEEE BIBM 2026 Undergraduate and High School Symposium, to be held as part of the IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM) 2026 in Dallas, USA.

The symposium provides a dedicated platform for undergraduate and high school students to present their research in bioinformatics, biomedicine, biomedical informatics, and related areas. It aims to encourage early research experience, support scientific communication, and provide students with opportunities to receive feedback from researchers in academia, industry, and funding agencies.

We invite submissions from undergraduate and high school students on topics including, but not limited to, the following areas:

Middle School Science and Engineering Mentoring Event

On Saturday, August 22, the results of a free, innovative, four-month mentoring program project launched by high schools students at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST) were on display to an audience of more than 200 at Virginia Tech's Academic Building One at Potomac Yard Metro.  

The TJHSST students guided over 90 Fairfax and Loudoun middle school students through a weekly mentoring program to elevate their scientific and engineering curiosities into research questions and answers, or to solutions to real problems or challenges. Learn more about this at nextinresearch.org.
