AI and Organismal Biology Symposium
When: Monday, September 14th 2026, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm EDT
Location: Virtual
Join us for the AI and Organismal Biology Symposium on Monday,
September 14, 2026, to celebrate the launch of the Columbia
University-based National Synthesis Center for Organismal Resilience
(NSCORE) funded by the National Science Foundation. This one-day
symposium, in person and online, will bring together leaders and
learners from academia and industry to examine how AI is reshaping the
study of organismal biology. The symposium introduces NSCORE's mission:
to advance our ability to explain and predict organismal resilience to
change by building the AI tools and expertise needed to synthesize data
across scales, from molecules to individuals to ecosystems. Sessions
will cover how scientists are using AI to dissect complex phenotypes,
and how technology and industry leaders are applying AI to the living
world. The symposium and kickoff will be held at Columbia University in
the City of New York with a hybrid option for remote attendees as there
is limited seating at Columbia University. Please register at the link
and use the provided zoom to join. You can view the event agenda here
