Computational biology, brought together
Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Computational Biology Conference (CBC 3.0), scheduled for 09–11 December, 2026. CBC 3.0 is organized by the Indian Biological Data Centre (IBDC) at the Regional Centre for Biotechnology (RCB), Faridabad — the first national data centre mandated to archive life-science data generated by public funding in India.
The conference brings together researchers, students, funding agencies, vendors, and policy makers working in computational biology to share new research and discuss the field's direction. Join us to learn about recent developments and build collaborations.
- Dates 09–11 December, 2026
- Venue M.K. Bhan Auditorium, Biotech Cluster, RCB
- Format In-person, 3 days
- Tracks Talks · Workshops · Posters
