Bridging Infection and Artificial Intelligence

The AI4ID symposium will convene a dynamic mix of leading experts in infectious diseases and artificial intelligence, fostering a unique environment for creative, cross-disciplinary collaboration. The central goal is to think creatively about how cutting-edge AI technologies can be harnessed to solve the most pressing challenges in infection research. This year's symposium will be structured across three key sessions: AI at the clinical interface, AI for biological discovery, and AI for therapeutic discovery.

This inaugural symposium is jointly hosted by the Center for Integrated Solutions for Infectious Diseases and the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center and will be in-person only at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA.

Registration deadline: Tuesday, January 6, 2026
