Warning! This email originated from outside of PSB. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. -------------------------------------- Hi all, I’d like to invite you to submit an abstract for the upcoming AI and Computational Biology Conference in Leuven. AI is reshaping life sciences research. At #AIandCompBio26<https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23aiandcompbio26&ori…>, researchers will explore the latest developments in AI and computational biology. Your research could be part of that conversation, but the 𝟳 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 is just around the corner. A new result. A method that is beginning to show its potential. A question that could open an entirely new direction. This is where research moves from the lab, the dataset, or the computer, into a wider scientific conversation. With the abstract deadline fast approaching, there’s little time left to turn your work into a submission. Apply for one of seven selected presentation slots or the two poster sessions. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁. Bring your research. We’ll take care of the rest: https://lnkd.in/gpF8AREc<https://www.linkedin.com/safety/go/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnkd%2Ein%2FgpF8AREc&…> 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀: Mohammed AlQuraishi<https://www.linkedin.com/in/alquraishi/>, Valentina Boeva<https://www.linkedin.com/in/valentina-boeva-3a40096/>, Susanne Bornelöv<https://www.linkedin.com/in/sbornelov/>, Bianca M.
