The Institut Pasteur is organizing its 3rd edition of its Symposium Artificial Intelligence in Biology and Health. It will be held on 18th June 2026 in the Émile Duclaux lecture hall at the Institut Pasteur campus. The symposium will bring together researchers working at the intersection of AI with biomedical sciences to discuss opportunities and challenges in this exciting and rapidly evolving field.
The symposium will include two invited keynote talks:
Julio Saez Rodriguez
Head of Research at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), Hinxton UK
Reuben Dorent
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at Inria Paris-Saclay and Paris Brain Institute, Paris, France
Gerard Hammer
Professor of Biophysics, Department of Physics, Max Plank Insitute, Frankfurt, Germany
Artificial intelligence (AI) methods such as deep learning have fueled breakthroughs in many data-intensive fields, such as computer vision, speech recognition or question-and-answer systems, as recently illustrated by ChatGPT. AI also holds enormous potential for biology and health. Indeed, AI-powered methods can accurately predict 3D protein structures from their DNA sequence, diagnose skin cancer from photographs, predict patient outcomes or help design new drugs… AI can also integrate large and complex data sets including genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics data and mine them for new insights.
The organizers hope it will foster collaborations and inspire new ideas in the application of AI for biology and health.
18th June 2025 – Institut Pasteur, Paris, France – Registration free but mandatory.
