Over the past decade, MIA has grown into an invaluable resource, bridging the worlds of biology, medicine, mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and computer science. It has fostered rich, interactive talks and discussions that empower researchers at the Broad and beyond. Through pedagogically-driven primers and seminars, our members have gained new perspectives from leading global experts and rising talent, learning about not just their methods, but their intuition and philosophy, and leaving talks inspired with ideas on new avenues for their own research.

Β 

We are celebrating MIA on October 17 and reflecting on its past, present, and future.
