Applications are Open for the 2025 IICD Intensive Workshop

March 20, 2025

The Institute offers a 5-day intensive workshop (June 23rd-27th, 2025, Morningside Heights campus) for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to learn more about methods in probabilistic data integration and optimal transport. Participants will learn about multi-modal and multi-donor single-cell data integration, probabilistic modeling, emerging technologies in spatial integration, and the theory and implementation of optimal transport. A one-day virtual bootcamp will be held prior to the workshop to review key prerequisites.

The one-week workshop will include lectures by instructors and guest speakers, hands-on problem sets, and networking lunches. The summer school will end with short group presentations and a mixer. The workshop will be preceded by an optional one-day virtual bootcamp (June 20th, 2025). The virtual bootcamp will be an opportunity for participants to build the necessary skills and requirements to prepare for the workshop.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following concepts:

  • Multi-modal and multi-donor single-cell data integration
  • Probabilistic modeling and representation learning for high-dimensional data
  • Emerging technologies in spatial and imaging integration
  • Theory and implementation of optimal transport
  • Applications of optimal transport for multi-modal single-cell integration, time series, and spatial data
  • Applications of optimal transport for multi-modal single-cell integration and spatial data
     

Application deadline: April 17th, 2025 (5 PM EST)
