From 25 February–1 March 2026 the 132. ITC “Biology 2.0 – the AI revolution in biology and medicine” took place in the Black Forest region of Germany, organized by the non-profit foundation Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds (BIF).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods promise to revolutionize the way research in biological and biomedical sciences is done. We are already witnessing unprecedented progress in diverse fields including protein prediction and design, gene-expression analyses, image processing, drug design, and many others. Breakthroughs are likely to come from synergies between new experimental wet-lab technologies and new machine learning approaches, each designed for optimal mutual fit. The conference brought together internationally leading experts in biological and biomedical research and machine learning / artificial intelligence.
From the very first conference in 1962, the International Titisee Conferences (ITCs) were meant to offer a unique experience for the participating scientists. The idea was to create an inviting, retreat-like setting as well as an atmosphere that would stimulate scientific exchange between researchers and between subdisciplines.
