2022 ICML Workshop on Computational Biology (WCB)
 
WCB workshop illustrationThis workshop, part of the larger ICML conference, aims to bring together interdisciplinary machine learning researchers working in areas such as computational genomics; neuroscience; metabolomics; proteomics; bioinformatics; cheminformatics; pathology; radiology; evolutionary biology; population genomics; phenomics; ecology, cancer biology; causality; etc. We especially encourage interdisciplinary submissions that might not neatly fit into one of these categories. Deadline for paper submission is May 8th, 2022.

IICD and Data Science Institute (DSI) Postdoctoral Research Scientist Mingzhang Yin, co-mentored by David Blei and Simon Tavaré, builds new tools at the intersection of statistical machine learning and causal inference. DSI highlights two of his recent papers related to these topics. Read more.

 
Headshot of Arash JamshidpeyIICD Welcomes a New Associate Research Scientist
Arash Jamshidpey (previously a postdoc in Simon Tavaré's lab) is interested in probability theory and its applications in population genetics, cancer evolution, genomics and phylogenetics. His current research focuses on population models that are important to understand the co-evolution of cells and/or clones in solid tumors and their microenvironments. Read more.
