The Generative and Experimental perspectives in bioMolecular design (GEM) workshop is back! The primary focus of our workshop is to foster collaboration between machine learning experts and experimental scientists. Building on the strong foundation of last year’s inaugural workshop, we aim to further our efforts to strengthen this interdisciplinary community. We are actively seeking submissions of papers that demonstrate such collaboration, whether through purely computational endeavors or experimental work with rich datasets that can be utilized for learning purposes. GEM is collaborating with Nature Biotechnology to allow exceptional submissions to be considered for fast-tracking in their journal. GEM features an in-silico generative machine learning track as well as an experimental track for papers that have wet lab results. This year, with the generous support of our sponsors, we are launching small ‘seed grants’ (USD $1,000 each) to catalyze new collaborations between experimental and computational researchers attending the workshop. The goal is to create meaningful, interdisciplinary partnerships between dry and wet lab, and to provide small initial support for promising projects that align with cutting-edge biological challenges and AI-driven solutions. GEM is an in-person workshop on April 27th, in Singapore, at ICLR’25. We would be thrilled to have your participation at the workshop! Kindly share this information with anyone who might be interested. For any inquiries, feel free to reach out to us at gembioworkshop@googlegroups.com or connect with us on social media. We look forward to your participation!
