The Winter School on Quantitative System Biology has been held every year since 2012 at ICTP in Trieste, Italy and ICTS in Bangalore, India in alternating years.
The topic of the 2022 School is Machine Learning in Biology.
Machine Learning is increasingly being used in biology, as also in other physical and life sciences, to build predictive models of underlying processes.
This school will combine the knowledge of biologists who work with large and heterogeneous data, of physicists who are experts at modelling such complexity, and of machine learning experts who bring in state-of-the-art methods in statistics. This integrated approach is essential to learn how to tackle these issues and gain a better understanding of key phenomena in biology.
