About This Event

AI tools for research are advancing at a pace that often outstrips traditional academic training. These tools are powerful, but using them effectively to produce high quality research is a skill in itself. So how do we use AI to move faster and accelerate biological discovery without sacrificing scientific rigor and our sense of engagement with our work?

We hope to build a community dedicated to keeping up with new tools, sharing ai-augmented research workflows what work well, and staying human in an AI world.  

We are launching the Biomedical Gen AI Learning Community!

Open to: Anyone in the UM bioinformatics and biomedical community - researchers, students, and staff. 

The Biomedical Gen AI Learning Community is sponsored by the Center for Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics (CCMB)

Join the conversation in our Biomedical Gen AI Slack Channel

When you sign up for our mailing list, you’ll automatically be added to the #ccmb-genai-community channel to participate in discussions.
