*AIM AND SCOPE*

Life sciences have recently increased their interest towards big multimodal datasets that can answer several relevant bio-medical questions.
However, their size and complexity make classical approaches unsuitable due to many limitations. Recently, Artificial Intelligence
methodologies have been applied to automatically detect important features in big datasets enabling a deeper study of tumor
pathogenesis and evolution, gene interactions, disease trajectories in large populations, and precision medicine.
The 2022 edition of Lipari School on Computational Life Sciences aims to provide state-of-the-art research in Artificial Intelligence in Biomedicine.
The courses will be delivered by world-renowned scientists and will cover cutting-edge topics focusing on algorithms, models,
biomedical and biotechnological techniques, and clinical applications.
The school aims to provide, in a friendly environment, a stimulating, exciting, and constructive opportunity for Ph.D. students and researchers.
Indeed, the selected participants will have the chance to interact with world leaders in the field.
