Global Experts and Nobel Laureates to Convene in Dubrovnik for AI in Medicine Conference
Thursday, January 8, 2026
An influential scientific gathering, the 14th ISABS and Mayo Clinic Conference on Advances in the Application of AI in Precision Medicine“, will take place during June 15th–19th, 2026, in the historic city of Dubrovnik, Croatia.
This year’s conference will focus on the rapidly expanding role of AI in biomedical research, diagnostics and personalised healthcare. The event will bring together four Nobel Laureates and more than 600 leading scientists and clinicians from premier institutions worldwide, including Mayo Clinic, UPMC, Dartmouth College, Johns Hopkins University, Harvard University, MIT, Stanford University, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Penn State University and many others.
The conference aims to explore how AI-driven technologies are reshaping precision medicine by enabling earlier disease prediction, improving diagnostic accuracy and supporting individualised treatment strategies across a wide range of medical disciplines. One session will be dedicated to AI in forensic and anthropological genetics.
Prof. Dragan Primorac, President of ISABS, emphasised the significance of the event said, "AI is not just a tool; it represents a paradigm shift in medicine. By integrating AI with genomics, molecular profiling and clinical data, we are unlocking unprecedented opportunities to predict disease, tailor therapies and improve patient outcomes worldwide. This conference will set the stage for the next era of precision medicine."
The conference is co-organised by Mayo Clinic, the International Society for Applied Biological Sciences (ISABS); and St. Catherine Specialty Hospital, with support from the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. Numerous esteemed institutions are providing strong support for this landmark event, including the Croatian National Tourist Board, the Croatian Medical Chamber, the Croatian Medical Association, the International Centre for Applied Biological Research, the Institute for Anthropological Research, the Croatian Society for Human Genetics, and the Croatian Society for Personalised Medicine. The official conference journal is the Croatian Medical Journal.
