The 1^st workshop on Generative AI and Biology

Welcome to the GenBio Workshop! Join us as we explore the exciting intersection of artificial intelligence and biology. Discover how generative AI is revolutionizing protein research, RNA analysis, molecular design, drug discovery, and more. This workshop is designed to be interactive and practical, equipping you with the skills to utilize generative AI tools in your own biological research. Engage in stimulating discussions and collaborate with experts from diverse backgrounds. Together, let's unlock the potential of generative AI for biology.

Stay tuned by following us on Twitter.

Overview

Over the past year, generative AI models have led to tremendous breakthroughs, from image and text generation, to protein folding and design. These recent successes illustrate the incredible potential of generative AI not only for digital applications, but also for basic science and healthcare. We are now able to predict protein structure from sequence alone; to characterize the function and interactions of biomolecules; to design such molecules never-before-seen in nature; and more. The impacts are profound: through generative AI, we can systematically understand and reprogram biology at an unprecedented level.

The goals of this workshop are to bridge the gap between the machine learning and biological communities; to connect leading researchers from both industry and academia; and to gain critical insights into the future of generative-AI-driven biology. We look forward to your participation in this exciting discourse on the future of biology and AI.

Important information

The workshop will be held on December 16 in room MR265-268 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (900 Convention Center Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70130).

Please refer to the Neurips website regarding registration and hotels. We would like to reiterate that poster presentations will be in-person only.

The talks will be livestreamed for virtual attendees. Please register via NeurIPS for a virtual pass for access.

Author Instructions

Posters should be 24W by 36H (vertical) and printed on lightweight paper, as they will be affixed to the wall by tape. Instructions regarding poster printing can be found here.

Camera ready manuscripts are due on OpenReview by November 22, 2023. Please update your submissions to 1) include author names and affiliations, and 2) incorporate any desired changes based on your reviews. Your camera-ready should follow the same Neurips style guide, and it may contain up to 5 pages of content (excluding references and appendices).

Papers should indicate that they are NeurIPS Generative AI and Biology Workshop 2023 papers by using the stylesheet provided here.
