Recent advances in Machine Learning (ML) allowed for unprecedented improvement in the toolset for basic and applied biomedical research. ML-powered processing and analysis of biomedical images, gene or protein sequences, molecular structure, as well as scientific language provide untapped opportunities in infection and disease biology. To accelerate the harnessing of this toolset, we are bringing together experts from infection biology, disease biology, quantitative biology, biomedical ML, and the pharmaceutical industry in the first symposium on ML for infection and disease in Görlitz.
