Webinars

The webinar series will feature speakers actively engaged in developing novel applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) techniques to advance experimental and computational structural biology and other key research areas in biology. Each presentation will be followed by a 20 min Q/A and discussion period.

The goal of these series is to illustrate and critically appraise the advances made possible by these techniques and raise the awareness of the scientific community to their future potential. The series should also help delineate the multi-disciplinary collaborative research environment and the training components that are necessary for the successful integration of AI-based techniques with research in the life sciences.
