MMFM-BIOMED 2026
The Second Workshop on Multimodal Foundation Models for Biomedicine: Challenges and Opportunities
The MMFM-BIOMED 2026 workshop, held in conjunction with CVPR 2026 in Denver, USA, brings together researchers to address challenges and explore opportunities in multimodal foundation models for biomedicine. It focuses on integrating heterogeneous biomedical data—ranging from genomics and microscopy to radiology and electronic health records—to enable breakthroughs in disease diagnosis, drug discovery, and personalized treatment.

Policies worth checking twice
- Submissions must be non-archival.
- Papers must not exceed 4 pages excluding references.
- Submissions must use the CVPR 2026 template.
- Accepted papers must present a poster at the workshop.
- Each poster board is shared by two papers; each paper uses only one half (one side) of the board.
- Posters must follow CVPR 2026 poster printing guidelines for dimensions and logistics.
