Biofabrication, the automated generation of functional constructs from cells, biomaterials and bioactive molecules, still relies on trial-and-error design, and the cost of wet-lab iterations makes exhaustive experimentation infeasible. Intelligent Biofabrication replaces this with model-based, predictive engineering: simulators of cellular behaviour, hybrid multi-scale models and digital twins, protocol optimisation, and data-driven approaches learning from accumulated evidence.

The CompBioFab Special Session, held within BIOSTEC 2027 in Valletta, Malta, is organised around interdisciplinary convergence, structured around shared benchmark problems, datasets and evaluation protocols. We invite submission of full papers and abstracts on the following topics of interest:

- Multiscale Cellular Modeling: molecular to construct-scale formalisms, coupled
- Biohybrid Robotics: living tissue fused with synthetic actuation
- Computational & AI Biofabrication: machine learning for protocol design
- Datasets & Reproducible Benchmarks: shared standards & evaluation protocols
- Digital Twins & Bioreactors: simulated bioreactor processes & controls
- Calibration & Uncertainty Quantification: validating models against experimental data
- Organoids & In Vitro Models: New Approach Methodologies (NAMs)
- Sustainable, Automated Workflows: resource-aware, reusable computational pipelines

Please refer to the BIOSTEC 2027 submission guidelines for full paper/abstract formatting instructions.
