#ICML2023 invited talk: Jennifer Doudna on machine learning for biological research

The programme of the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) featured an invited talk by Jennifer Doudna entitled "The future of ML in biology: CRISPR for health and climate". Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for "the development of a method for genome editing". The method in question is often referred to as CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors. Using this technique, researchers can change the DNA of animals, plants and microorganisms with extremely high precision. This technology has already had a huge impact on the biological sciences.
