AlgoSB is aimed at bringing together scientists from different disciplines (computer science, biophysics, biochemistry, mathematics, …) in a pleasant setting amenable to learning new approaches and creating synergies for future work.
The focus of AlgoSB 2021 is « Machine Learning Methods to Analyze and Predict Protein Structure, Dynamics and Function » (more details are provided on the lectures page).
The AlgoSB school is open to students and researchers wishing to integrate new theoretical approaches and methodologies into their research or to extend them in new directions. The school is open to senior and junior scientists from academia and industry as well as PhD students and postdocs. A maximum of 40 participants will be selected. More details are provided on the registration page.
