On Monday, November 4, please join us for two key events featuring Mona Singh, Professor of Computer Science, Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at Princeton, and Princeton Postdocs and Schmidt Center postdoctoral fellows.

Panel Discussion: Foundation Models in Genomics (2:45-3:30 pm)

Schmidt Center and Princeton postdocs will explore the significance of foundation models in genomics. Key topics include:

• Defining foundation models and their impact on genomics.
• Benchmarking insights and challenges from recent studies.
• Architectural innovations tailored for biological applications.

Colloquium Talk: Mona Singh on "Protein Language Models: Their Power, Limitations, and Future Directions." (4:00-5:00 pm; refreshments at 3:30pm)

Following the panel, we will have the pleasure of hearing from Mona Singh on "Protein Language Models: Their Power, Limitations, and Future Directions." Find the abstract on our website. 

The colloquium will be held at the Broad Institute in Yellowstone as well as virtually via YouTube Livestream: broad.io/ewsc. If you do not have a Broad badge, please show up at the 415 Main Street entrance 10 minutes early, with an ID, to sign in with security and to be escorted to the talk.

This colloquium is part of an ongoing series jointly hosted by the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center and MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. It features speakers sharing how their work is driving novel insights into the most pressing biomedical questions of our time and how biomedical questions are spurring foundational advances in machine learning.
