Hosted by the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center, the MIA Initiative (Models, Inference & Algorithms) supports learning and collaboration across the interface of biology and medicine with mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and computer science. We bring together scientists every Wednesday in Acadia (Broad Institute – 75 Ames St., M1) and virtually. A primer starts at 9:00 am, followed by a seminar and discussion at 10:00 am and 10:50 am, respectively.
