TDAI's Computational Health & Life Sciences community of practice, in partnership with the Biophysics Graduate Program, is excited to offer a symposium for graduate students and researchers focused around AlphaFolds:
The TDAI-CHLS CoP AlphaFold Student Symposium
In partnership with Biophysics Graduate Program
Dec. 14, 2 p.m.-5 p.m., 320 Pomerene Hall
AlphaFold is an AI system developed by DeepMind that predicts protein 3D structure from its amino-acid sequence. AlphaFold is considered to have finally solved one of the biggest problems in biology, opening the door for applications that range from expanding our understanding of basic molecular biology to accelerating drug development.
Are you curious about the groundbreaking AlphaFold technology and its applications in research? Join us for an engaging and informative student symposium designed to explore the experiences, challenges, and visions of young researchers using AlphaFold.
