The International Society for Biopharmaceutical Statistics (ISBS) is pleased to announce the 8th International Symposium on Biopharmaceutical Statistics, taking place from October 13–16, 2026, in Madrid, Spain.
This premier event will convene leading statisticians and quantitative scientists to explore cutting-edge methodologies and their application across the entire biomedical product lifecycle. Join us to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities in drug development within the modern regulatory landscape.
Key symposium topics include (but are not limited to):
- Drug Discovery & Development: Pre-clinical research, PK/PD, early development, CMC, and clinical trials.
- Real-World Evidence & Safety: RWD/RWE, pharmacovigilance, pharmacoepidemiology, and outcomes research.
- Advanced Methodologies: Pharmacogenomics, innovative trial designs, advancement of statistical modeling and analyses, computation, and simulation.
- Regulatory Science: Innovative tools, standards, methods, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of biomedical products
- Health Technology Assessment (HTA) and Economic Evaluation: HTA requirements, joint clinical assessments, evidence synthesis, and health economic evaluation
- Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML), and Digital Technology (DT): Integration of AI/ML and DT into modern biomedical product development — real-world examples, best practice, challenges, and future outlook
Program Overview:
The symposium will begin with short courses, followed by a three-day main conference. The program is designed to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange through:
- Scientific Sessions
- Interactive Workshops
- Panel Discussions
- Networking Events
This is your opportunity to present your research, engage in thought-provoking discussions, and connect with a global community of peers.
Call for Participation
