‍The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center Symposium: Biomedical Science and AI

Tuesday, April 28 and Wednesday, April 29, 2026
Broad Institute - Cambridge, MA and virtually

‍Bringing together researchers who develop the foundations of machine learning and apply the resulting methods to understand the programs of life and how they connect across scales - from proteins to cells to tissues and organisms. 

Experts in the field will discuss how machine learning is revealing important insights into the most pressing biomedical questions of our time and, conversely, how these biomedical questions are driving foundational advances in machine learning.

Registration is now open.

The call for abstracts is now closed. Abstract acceptance notifications will be sent on February 28, 2026. We will select 10 abstracts for short talks and 40 abstracts for posters. Short talks and posters are expected to be shared in-person during the event.

We will continue updating this page with invited speakers, the agenda, poster abstracts, and more.
