Hands-on training to apply ML to drug discovery
Who should attend?
To get the most out of the summer school, we recommend that you only register if you have a solid understanding of mathematics and statistics with basic experience in Python and building ML models. The ideal participant in the summer school should fit at least one of these profiles:
1. AI experts (data scientists, ML engineers, or others) capable of understanding and manipulating biochemistry and chemistry concepts

FAQ
I'm confused about the programming, can you clarify?
The summer school lectures will run for 5 days (June 12th - 18th) and end with a 2-day hackathon (June 20th - 21st). We will host the 2024 Molecular Machine Learning Conference (MoML) on June 19th between the lectures and the hackathon.
Individuals can purchase tickets to MoML separately without attending the summer school. However, you automatically get access to the conference if you register for the summer school.
I'm a student, are there discounts for me?
Students can register for the summer school at a discounted price of $150.
