The goal of the event is to introduce the audience to the advances in the statistical/machine learning techniques used to analyze human microbiome and transcriptomics data. The activity will also serve as an opportunity to foster connections between Albanian researchers and the statistical\machine learning experts inside the ML4Microbiome COST Action.
