A Strategic Partnership to Advance AI Applications in Genomics and Bioinformatics for Health Innovation.

JMIR Bioinformatics and Biotechnology announced a strategic partnership with the MidSouth Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Society (MCBIOS) in late 2025; this partnership establishes JMIR Bioinformatics and Biotechnology as the official journal of MCBIOS. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing computational biology, bioinformatics, and biotechnology through open science, interdisciplinary collaboration, and real-world data. By connecting MCBIOS' community-building and professional development initiatives with JMIR Publications' open-access publishing platform, this partnership aims to support emerging researchers, accelerate the dissemination of innovative computational methods and artificial intelligence applications, and strengthen data-driven research across medicine and biology.
