Excited to welcome Eli Weinstein, DTU & ELLIS, to Collaboratorium Symposium Nov 10-11! His work on AI & causal biology is groundbreaking, advancing how we understand molecular systems and drug discovery.

Join us! #Collaboratorium2025 #AI #Biology
This morning we hosted David Brückner (Biozentrum, Univ. Basel) — chaired by James Sharpe (EMBL Barcelona) — for a tour of self-organization in development via dynamical systems + information theory, with concrete case studies on organoids and gastruloids.
