• Aly Azeem Khan (UChicago)
• Derek Reiman (TTIC)

The 2025 Midwest Computational Biology Workshop will explore emerging topics in the field of computational biology, covering a spectrum of algorithmic and machine learning challenges to address biological questions. The workshop will bring together a wide range of participants from different backgrounds (computer science, biology, medicine) and positions (undergrads, grad students, faculty, industry professionals). By connecting these researchers, the workshop aims to initiate new interdisciplinary interactions and collaborations.

TTIC is committed to providing a respectful and positive environment for all members of its community, free from all forms of discrimination and harassment.
