AI in computational biology
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence into life sciences research is revolutionizing our understanding of biological systems. It is therefore with great excitement that VIB introduces AI and Computational Biology as the newest chapter in the conference series, building on the success of the Applied Bioinformatics in Life Sciences series, which has brought together leading experts since 2016 to advance the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology.
A diverse line-up of internationally recognized speakers will showcase the latest developments and perspectives on the pivotal role of AI in unveiling the complexity of living systems. The conference will span four key themes, reflecting the breadth and depth of AI-powered research in biology:
- Genome to function
- Cell to system
- Disease modeling
- Innovation in machine learning
Join us in picturesque Leuven for a conference featuring engaging discussions and networking opportunities designed to spark new collaborations and innovative approaches to life sciences research. Whether you are an academic or an industry professional, the event will offer stimulating insights and takeaways on the impact of AI in biology.
