Simbiochem 2026
The 2nd Workshop on Simulations for Biology and Chemistry
SIMBIOCHEM II is a NeurIPS 2026 workshop focused on advancing machine learning for molecular simulations in biology and chemistry, aiming to integrate generative models and agentic AI with physically rigorous simulation methods. It brings together researchers from ML, computational chemistry, biophysics, and materials science to develop faster, physics-aligned systems for scientific discovery.
