Join the World’s Leading Course on Machine Learning in Healthcare & Biomedical Sciences
2–5 August 2025 | University of Oxford’s Mathematical Institute & Online
6th Oxford Machine Learning Summer School – OxML 2025
The MLx Health & Bio course covers the latest advancements in machine learning for health and biomedical applications. This module of OxML 2025 will feature some of the world’s top research studies in both ML theory and its applications in medicine and the life sciences.
Course Highlights
Participants will be introduced to cutting-edge biomedical foundation models (or several biomedical LxM) and attend lectures on the application of ML / representation learning and generative AI in following topics:
Application Topics:
Drug discovery
Genomics
Population health and epidemiology
Electronic health records (EHR)
Medical imaging
Wearable data for population health
Biomedical text processing and NLP
AI models of the immune system
Theoretical Topics:
Statistical and probabilistic machine learning
Advanced representation learning (e.g., generative AI)
Geometric deep learning
Latest developments in computer vision
Advances in natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs)
Knowledge graphs, knowledge-aware ML, and neuro-symbolic AI
Real-world ML applications (e.g., alignment, interpretability, and ethics)
Survival and causal analysis in biomedical research
