Machine Learning to Accelerate biology (MLAB)
Welcome to MLAB hosted by the Debora Marks Lab. For the past two years, the lab has hosted a journal club in which we invite speakers with expertise in interesting methods and biological problems, with the goal of finding novel connections between theory and application. We now want to make these meetings open to the community to expand the opportunities for learning and collaboration.
The series will feature speakers that span our interests as a lab, including (but certainly not limited to): protein design and engineering; fitness landscape estimation; protein and RNA structure; single cell RNAseq; whole genome modeling; viral evolution; clinical pathogenicity prediction and more applications to come! All the speakers share a common theme of novel statistical and machine learning methods that solve or have the potential to solve biological problems.
The talks will be informal in nature so we highly encourage discussion and questions!
