Computational Tool Reuse and Sustainability Workshop
The MC2 Center and Software Gardening Almanac will conduct a computational tool reuse and sustainability workshop on January 20, 2027 at the Benson Hotel. Workshop attendees will leverage the Software Sustainability Toolkit from the Cancer Complexity Knowledge Portal to evaluate tool sustainability and reusability, learn about AI-supported tool revisions and development, and make improvements to existing or in-development tools based on the workshop exercises. Tools will be provided to attendees for the purpose of this workshop as needed. The workshop is open to all trainees (undergraduate, graduate, postdocs) who will attend the meeting in person.
The first 25 conference attendees who sign up and complete the workshop will be reimbursed $150 to cover SACB conference registration fees. You can select this option through the registration page.
Abstract submission is open.
SACB 2027 is now only accepting abstract submissions (max 500 words) for poster presentations from students, postdocs, and faculty across six sessions: Tumor Heterogeneity & Metastasis, Metabolism Across Scales, Immunology & Host-Tumor Interactions, Systems Pharmacology & Translational Systems Biology, Targeting Signal Transduction, and Spatial Single-Cell Cancer Systems Biology, with two oral slots per session plus interactive poster sessions. The meeting will also feature a Postdoc Highlights session, where the organizing committee selects 4–5 standout abstracts from postdoc presenters to showcase especially innovative and impactful work, offering strong visibility within the cancer systems biology community. The application deadline is December 31, 2026.
Please submit your Abstract here.
SACB Scholar submission is now closed. Thank you for your interest in the meeting.
We are accepting applications for the 2027 SACB Scholars Program, which offers travel fellowships covering travel, lodging, food, and conference costs, along with a peer mentor, to boost early-career trainee participation in cancer systems biology. Undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs in STEM or medical fields, including adjacent quantitative disciplines—are encouraged to apply, with no prior cancer systems biology experience required. Instead of an abstract, applicants submit a brief essay on their interest in the field, and priority is given to U.S. applicants due to limited funding. The application deadline is Friday, October 16, 2026, with notifications sent by late November.
