At #ICML2026? Swing by our poster @genbio_workshop in Hall A, presenting a flow matching framework for learning continuous-time tissue remodeling dynamics, and the cell–cell interactions driving them, from spatial transcriptomic snapshots. #AI4Science #BioML #Genomics #CompBio

Thrilled to post thread re: new single-cell lineage of mouse embryo reconstructed w/ DNA Typewriter. One animal, zygote to late organogenesis (E13.5). Tree has 1,340,794 transcriptionally profiled, annotated tips (cells), 1,142,588 dated internal nodes, rooted at zygote 1/n

Lastly, our sponsor @mithrilcompute made this workshop possible! Some of us use their platform for high-performance computing and we love the experience! Mithril is offering compute credits (1x $10,000 org, 2x$1,000 indiv) Apply here by May 1st: forms.gle/BhtKsWRUcQiL3o856 #ICLR2026

We’ve had 57 submissions presented in our sessions, spanning: 🧬 Diffusion models for regulatory element design 🧪 Single-cell, epi- & metagenomic foundation models 🤖 AI agents & perturbation prediction 📍 Generative spatial transcriptomics A huge thanks to all our presenters!

Also, check out alphagenome-pytorch, an accessible and hackable port from the @pkoo562 and @anshulkundaje labs for integrating the model into native PyTorch pipelines and fine-tuning on custom datasets: genomicsxai.github.io/blogs/… and the thread: nitter.siddz.com/abuen_dia/status/20318…"

Our last talk was by @arkosiorek on #AlphaGenome. They noted it's not a generative model :) Yet, as a SOTA model for unified regulatory variant effect prediction, it represented the most popular application area of our submissions: regulatory genomics.

We heard from @gokcen, who presented Nona, a masked modeling framework for functional genomics that unifies multiple modalities. Their talk was just as accessible and comprehensive as the model itself! Check our their preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Congratulations to the Best Paper award winners!

We've kicked off our workshop with two stellar field-grounding talks with forward-looking vision from Sarah Teichmann @teichlab and Maria Brbic @mariabrbic. If you missed it, check out the recording on iclr.cc @iclr_conf #ICLR2026 #AI4Bio

Now published in @NatureComms! See my thread from the preprint for the full breakdown. Stay tuned for more work in this direction! 📄 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

🚨 Today in @Nature, we report GEMINI—a genetically encoded intracellular memory device that writes cellular dynamics into tree-ring-like fluorescent patterns within cytoplasmic protein assemblies.[1/n] nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

📣 DEADLINE UPDATE: Good news! We’ve extended the Gen² paper submission deadline to: Feb 11, AoE We look forward to hearing about your latest research in Generative AI in Genomics at @iclr_conf! Tiny papers are also welcome! More on papers and program: genai-in-genomics.github.io/…

Excited to announce the Call for Papers for the Generative AI in Genomics (Gen²): Barriers and Frontiers workshop at @iclr_conf ! 📅 Deadline: Feb 7 (AoE) 📢 Notification: March 1 🌐genai-in-genomics.github.io Watch for program updates coming soon! #AI4Science #Genomics #ICLR2026

We, i.e. @ArnaudDoucet1, @wellingmax, Tamara Broderick, @ValentinDeBort1, @spinar_d, Dora Li, and, Renzo Soatto, are very excited that our workshop "Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers" has been amongst these workshops @iclr_conf

Today, the NeurIPS Foundation is proud to announce a $500,000 donation to OpenReview supporting the infrastructure that makes modern ML research possible. OpenReview has been our trusted partner for years, enabling rigorous peer review at the scale and pace our field demands. This donation helps ensure they have the resources to strengthen their systems and continue evolving to meet our community's needs. The tools that enable rapid, rigorous scientific exchange aren't peripheral to our work—they're fundamental. This donation reflects our commitment to the infrastructure that makes ML research possible. OpenReview operates on a shoestring. They shouldn't have to. #NoMoreShoestrings #NeurIPS blog.neurips.cc/2025/12/15/s…
