About this Event

• Welcome to the first Data Carpentry Genomics Workshop at MBZUAI, organized by the Computational Biology and Cancer Regulatory Genomics (CBCRG) Lab, Computational Biology Department at MBZUAI, in collaboration with the Center for Genomics and Systems Biology (CGSB), NYU Abu Dhabi. This interactive hands-on workshop aims to build regional capacity in genomics and computational biology, empowering participants with foundational genomics data science skills and highlighting MBZUAI’s commitment to advancing precision medicine and digital public health in the UAE and beyond.
  Data Carpentry is part of the The Carpentries initiative whose mission is to develop and teach workshops on foundational computational and data science skills to researchers who have little to no prior computational experience.
• It is interactive, hands-on, free, and beginner-friendly workshop, taught by Certified Carpentries Instructors.
• Why attend?
  • Learn essential project organization and data science skills for genomic research
  • Hands-on training in command-line tools, genomic data wrangling, and cloud computing
  • Ideal for researchers, students, and professionals working with genomic data
  • No prior programming or genomic data analysis experience required

About this Event

The MBZUAI Single Cell Summer Workshop is a capacity building event focused on supporting the Abu Dhabi region bioinformatics community in getting to know each other and acquiring practical skills for working with single cell omics data. This is a hands on workshop aiming to introduce participants to tools from the scverse  ecosystem of Python single cell data analysis tools, and in particular the scvi-tools framework for probabilistic modelling of single cell omics data.

Participants should bring a laptop.

Friday activities will require familiarity with the command line.

The workshop is free to participate.

Note: If you would like to give a 20 minute participant talk, we still have a few slots available, please indicate when filling in the registration form and contact Eduardo at eduardo.beltrame@mbzuai.ac.ae.

About this Event

A great opportunity to find out more about MBZUAI.

MBZUAI Provost will present the vision for the university, the rapid expansion to two new schools (Digital Public Health and decision Science), launch of the undergraduate AI program, and share some projections of the expected student and faculty growth plans.

Several MBZUAI Department Chairs will provide more detailed plans for Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Computer Vision, Statistics & Data Science, Machine Learning, Computational Biology, Natural Language Processing, and Robotics.

About this Event

MBZUAI is proud to unveil the Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) — a bold, global initiative uniting top AI talent across Abu Dhabi, Silicon Valley, and Paris. The mission: to advance the next generation of foundation models and deliver their benefits to communities worldwide.

We invite researchers, technologists, and innovators to join us in Silicon Valley as we celebrate this milestone and foster connections within the broader AI community.

Symposium Goals

As foundation models become increasingly integrated into critical applications, ensuring their trustworthiness is paramount. The International Symposium on Trustworthy Foundation Models brings together researchers, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss key challenges and advancements in building safe, fair, and robust AI systems. This symposium will explore topics such as model safety, privacy, fairness, interpretability, causality, and robustness, with a particular emphasis on real-world deployment and governance. Through two days of invited talks, networking discussions, and contributed research, we aim to foster collaboration and drive innovation in the responsible development of foundation models.

Specifically, the objectives of the symposium are:

• Exchanging ideas, e.g., we will invite keynote speeches from world-leading researchers and contributed talks from active researchers;

• Building networks and promoting potential collaborations, e.g., promote internal collaborations within MBZUAI and internal collaborations with rising-star and world-leading researchers;

• Inspiring the juniors to do better research, e.g., mentor research students and postdocs at MBZUAI to do high-qulity research.

About this Event

The annual international conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB) is the flagship meeting of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB). The 2025 meeting is the 33rd ISMB conference, which has grown to become the world’s largest bioinformatics and computational biology conference. Joining forces with the European Conference on Computational Biology (the 24th Annual Conference), ISMB/ECCB 2025 will be the year’s most important computational biology event!

Visit our booth at ISMB 2025 to explore how MBZUAI is advancing AI-driven research. Meet our team, learn about our work, and discover opportunities to collaborate or join us.
