ELLIS Summer School success!
The fourth annual ELLIS Summer School on Machine Learning for Healthcare and Biology took place in Manchester from 7-9 July 2026.
After three successful events between 2023 and 2025, the ELLIS Society approved our fourth summer school on Machine Learning for Healthcare and Biology. As in previous years, this three-day event brought participants up-to-speed on the latest methods and technologies in machine learning with a focus on healthcare and biology.
12 expert researchers visited from 8 European organisations, with sessions covering DNA language models for engineering biology; 鈥楽warm鈥� intelligence; Real-world validation of healthcare LLMs and many more topics. Participants also had an opportunity to showcase their own work at our research poster session. 鈥嬧赌嬧赌�
Feedback has been overwhelming! We but here are a couple of quotes that didn't make it into the final edit:
I came back from Manchester with a notebook full of fresh ideas and a lot of inspiration. It was a fantastic opportunity to dive deep into the latest advancements in machine learning, especially the applications of Medical Al. The latest knowledge gained from global experts and the collaborative environment were amazing. Huge thanks to the Manchester Centre for AI Fundamentals, the ELLIS - European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems, and 花椒直播 for hosting such a brilliant event.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 3-day ELLIS Summer School. The 12 lectures delivered by professors, lecturers, and senior researchers from leading universities across the UK and Europe enriched my understanding of how AI is being applied across diverse areas of healthcare. The breadth of research and the insightful discussions were truly inspiring. A big thank you to everyone at the University of Manchester for organising such an excellent event!
