About the Symposium
Biology at a
new scale
The 28th EMBL PhD Symposium explores how automation, high-throughput methodologies, and artificial intelligence are accelerating scientific discovery — enhancing speed, reliability, and reproducibility across biological disciplines.
Over three focused days, we bring together researchers and engineers at the frontier of scalable science: from robotic wet-lab workflows and large-scale screening to AI-driven data analysis and translational biomedical applications.
