Bioinformatics Seminar
The Bioinformatics Seminar is co-sponsored by the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Theory of Computation group at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). The seminar series focuses on highlighting areas of research in the field of computational biology. This year, we are hoping to highlight three topics: (1) evolution and computational approaches to modeling and understanding it, (2) generative AI for biology/biomedicine, and (3) algorithms for computational biology/genomics.
