I’m very excited for this workshop on Generative AI for Biology workshop that we’re hosting at UCL in London. It hybrid so you can attend virtually or in person (limited spots so reach out).

Hybrid workshop on Generative AI for Biology with great speakers including Sarah Teichmann, @bunnech.bsky.social, Francesco Di Giovanni, Diego Oyarzun, Jussi Taipale, @jhartford.bsky.social, Chris Barnes and Marta Milo. Link for online registration www.genai.ac.uk/news-feed/ce...

Excited to share that our work on ''Inference Set Design for Biological Data'' @valenceai.bsky.social was accepted at ICLR25! 🚀 The paper is available now on arXiv, and we're looking forward to share and discuss the potential of active learning in AI for drug discovery this April in Singapore! 🧬 📊

I’m super excited that Learning Meaningful Representations of Life is back for ICLR 2025. We have a fantastic group of speakers lined up and there’s never been a better time to think about what makes a “meaningful” representation and how to learn one. Consider submitting!

Exciting news! 🚀 The Learning Meaningful Representations of Life ( #LMRL 🌟) workshop is returning at #ICLR2025! 🎉 On 27th / 28th April 2025 in Singapore 🇸🇬, this popular event returns with a fresh organizing team 👇 & bold new ideas 🧠 to explore bridging AI & life sciences 🧬

I’ll be at NeurIPS next week (hobbling around on crutches with a broken fibula). Reach out if you’d like to talk causal representation learning / virtual cells / active learning. Also - I’m looking for phd students, so if you’re applying for phds in these areas, reach out !
