Workshop on Network Science & Artificial Intelligence for Biomedicine & Health Informatics NET-AI-BHI on December 01-04, 2026 in Dallas, United States

The 5th NET-AI-BHI Workshop on Network Science & Artificial Intelligence for Biomedicine & Health Informatics

Network science is a successful paradigm for the study and understanding of complex systems, including biological systems. Pharmacology and drug discovery leverage the network biology to better understand the complex interactions between drugs, targets and disease for designing new molecule or identifying repurposed drugs. Most recently graph neural network expressed to be a potential game changer in deciphering the inherent complex interaction patterns in a complex network more precisely.

This workshop intends to highlight novel research in the area of network science and network medicine coupled with artificial intelligence & machine learning, and their application to biology, medicine, and pharmacology.
