2024 Midwest Computational Biology Workshop at TTIC
The 2024 Midwest Computational Biology Workshop is scheduled for September 10-11 at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago. This meeting aims to bring together researchers focused on the applications of Computational Biology and AI in biology and medicine. This year, we will explore the role of AI in analyzing electronic health records, molecular data, and genetic information, as well as explore rapidly emerging AI applications in 3D structure prediction and molecule generation for drug discovery. The workshop is generously supported by the 2024 TTIC Summer Workshop Program.
