At Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, Philippa Fawcett Dr, Cambridge, on Tue, 1 Jul 2025 10:00 AM - Wed, 2 Jul 2025 5:00 PM

Machine Learning and AI in Bio(Chemical) Engineering Conference series is co-organised by researchers linked with the Innovation Centre in Digital Molecular Technologies (iDMT), at the University of Cambridge. This series of conferences grew from two collaborative research projects on robotics and automation in chemical development (Glasgow, Leeds, Cambridge, UCL and Southampton). We continue to engage with the growing academic community in digital chemistry, chemical engineering and biochemical engineering, to design each iteration of the conference. The conference will feature keynote and invited lectures from global champions of research in ML/AI in chemistry/(bio)chemical engineering, and regular lectures selected from the community submissions.

Deadline abstract submission: 16th May 2025

In the years since the 2011 breakthrough PNAS paper of Nicolau, Levine, and Carlsson, in which they applied topological methods to detect a previously unknown subtype of breast cancer, it has become increasingly clear that topology provides an excellent toolkit for analyzing a broad spectrum of highly complex and noisy biological data. Topological tools have played a key role in establishing new, significant insights in neuroscience, ecology, cancer biology, developmental biology, and diabetology, among other areas of the life sciences. In this workshop, leading researchers at the interface of topology and the life sciences will present an overview of the topological tools that are the most useful to them, as well as of the most important biological results they have established with them. 

This workshop is part of the INI programme: Equivariant Homotopy Theory in Context , and will provide a meeting ground for mathematicians, representatives from other academic disciplines, industry and the public sector. The aim of this Open for Business Day is to showcase the applications of topology on the life sciences.

At West Road Concert Hall and Gala dinner at Trinity College, 10-11th September 2025

The Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley plenary lectures are a major feature within the programme and we are delighted to welcome Professor Amy Arnsten (Yale) and Professor Lorenz Studer (Sloan Kettering) to Cambridge. These plenary lectures are named in honour of Sir Alan Hodgkin and Sir Andrew Huxley, 2 Cambridge alumni who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1963 (jointly with John Eccles). 

This year, we are excited to launch the Cambridge Neuroscience Compston-Robbins Plenary Lecture. This lecture has been established to honour a member of Cambridge Neuroscience that has contributed significantly to the field. It has been named in honour of Professors Alastair Compston and Trevor Robbins, the two founding Directors of Cambridge Neuroscience. We are delighted to award this inaugural lecture to Professor Sir Stephen O’Rahilly. 

This international gathering is dedicated to exploring the latest advancements in cell and gene therapies, pharmaceutical innovations, and cutting-edge neurotechnology aimed at addressing neurological diseases. Featuring a diverse lineup of expert speakers and interactive sessions, the conference provides a platform for researchers, clinicians, and industry leaders to share insights, discuss challenges, and collaborate on pioneering solutions to improve nervous system health. Attendees will engage with the latest research and practical applications that promise to reshape the future of treatment for various neurological conditions.
