COMputational PAthologY and multimodaL data workshop

MICCAI 2026

CALL FOR PAPERS

For COMPAYL 2026, we again invite researchers to submit their work in computational pathology in general and in combination with other modalities, such as (but not limited to) language, omics, radiology, spatial transcriptomics, and spatial proteomics. We also encourage papers that focus on clinical translation of computational pathology methods and validation of developed applications. This year, we particularly encourage the submission of works focusing on agentic AI in pathology and AI in toxicologic pathology.

Submissions unrelated to computational pathology or histopathology will be desk-rejected.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Artificial intelligence and foundation models for multimodal data analysis, including pathology
Integration and validation of digital pathology with genomics, radiology, and textual data
Advances in spatial transcriptomics and whole-slide image analysis
Techniques for stain normalization, tissue structure segmentation, and image registration
Developments in immunohistochemistry scoring, including multiplexing
Innovations in local and cloud-based analysis tools
Research on predictive and prognostic tissue biomarkers
Strategies for integrating and validating computational pathology in clinical workflows

SUBMISSIONS

The formatting guidelines are the same as for MICCAI 2026. Authors should prepare a manuscript of no more than 8 pages, including images and tables (plus up to 2 extra pages containing only cited references). Supplementary material can be added to the paper, but reviewers are not expected to read it. Non-compliance with the manuscript format, including manipulation of margins or vertical spacing, will lead to automatic desk rejection.

Manuscripts can be submitted online through the OpenReview system. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. All accepted papers will be published in the collective MICCAI Satellite Events Springer LNCS Proceedings.

An open-access version of all accepted papers from COMPAYL 2026 will be made available on the MICCAI Society website no earlier than one week before the first day of the conference. Authors intending to file patents are responsible for ensuring that all necessary filings are completed prior to this public release.
