Our Mission
The Molecular Machine Learning Conference is a biannual gathering of researchers across academia and industry who share the goal of advancing how machine learning can address key scientific goals related to molecular modeling, molecular interactions, and more broadly therapeutic design. Through a combination of engaging talks and poster presentations, conference provides an open and lively place to discuss, learn, and innovate, for students and experts alike.

In Memoriam

The MoML Conference is organized in the name of Octavian-Eugen Ganea, whose scientific work and drive to help others closely exemplified the goals of this conference. To honor his work, we award the Octavian-Eugen Ganea Prize for Best Paper at the MoML Conference at MIT every year.

Speakers

Gabriele Corso, PhD

Co-founder, Boltz

Gabriele Corso, PhD completed his PhD under the guidance of Professors Tommi Jaakkola and Regina Barzilay. His research focuses on developing novel ML frameworks to tackle challenging problems in structural biology and drug discovery.

Peter Clark, PhD

Head of Computational Drug Design, Novo Nordisk

Peter Clark, PhD heads a global, interdisciplinary team of computational scientists focused on accelerating the delivery of differentiated therapeutics to patients through applied digital innovation across the R&D value chain. His expertise and leadership in the field led to the delivery of several clinical candidates and approved therapies including CAR-T, gene therapy, peptides, biologics (antibodies) and small molecules assets.

Chin-Wei Huang, PhD

Senior Researcher, Microsoft Research

Chin-Wei Huang, PhD is a senior researcher at MSR Amsterdam, working on machine learning for molecular simulation. He completed his PhD in computer science at Mila with Aaron Courville and has worked on a wide variety of topics in core ML, including generative models, variational inference, and Bayesian deep learning. Huang received a Google PhD fellowship in the category of Machine Learning in 2020.

Hannes Stärk

PhD student, MIT

Hannes Stärk is a PhD student at MIT co-advised by Tommi Jaakkola and Regina Barzilay working on generative models for biomolecules (structure prediction, biomolecular design, molecular dynamics). Previously, he was at the Technical University of Munich where he wrote his thesis with Stephan Günnemann and Pietro Liò.

Max Secor

Senior Machine Learning Scientist, Novo Nordisk

Max Secor is a senior machine learning scientist at Novo Nordisk. He completed his postdoctoral research at Tufts University studying drug discovery and machine learning and finished his PhD in chemistry at Yale University in 2023.

Jon Stokes

Assistant Professor, McMaster University

Jon Stokes is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences at McMaster University and a research affiliate at the MIT Jameel Clinic. He received his PhD in antimicrobial chemical biology in 2016 from McMaster. From 2017–2021 he was a Banting postdoctoral fellow at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Upon completing his postdoc, Jon established his laboratory back at McMaster in the Department of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences, in the summer of 2021.

FAQ

When/where is the conference being held?

The 2025 MoML Conference @ MIT will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025 in the Luria Auditorium, located in the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. Public parking is available in Hayward Garage, but we recommend using public transit if possible to get to the venue.

Is the hackathon in the same location as the conference?

No, the M-Boltz Hackathon will take place in the R&D space on the 4th floor of Stata Center, but the building itself is next door to the Koch Institute.

Where should I stay if I'm arriving from out-of-town?

The Boston Marriott Cambridge and the Kendall Hotel are both great options and just 5 minutes walking from the conference location.

Will there be a virtual option?

As with previous years, the MoML Conference @ MIT is in-person so there will be no option to attend virtually.  That said, virtual participation is permitted for the M-Boltz Hackathon.

I want to submit a paper that I submitted to another conference. Does this violate any dual submission policies?

As MoML 2025 @ MIT does not have official proceedings, submitting a paper you have already submitted to another conference that does have official proceedings does not violate any dual submission policies.

How big should the posters be?

Students with accepted papers should bring posters between 36 inches x 28 inches and 48 inches x 36 inches.

I am a non-MIT student/postdoc. Is there a discount?

Free admission is available to students and postdocs with accepted research papers. If you are not planning to submit a paper, but are a non-MIT student/postdoc interested in attending MoML, we have limited free admission so please register via the Waitlist as soon as possible.

I can't go anymore. Can I give my ticket to someone else?

Registrations linked to credit card transactions are not transferable, but students and postdocs admitted via Waitlist may request to transfer their admission to someone else at least two weeks prior to the event.

What is your cancellation policy?

Anyone cancelling their registration one month or more prior to the conference will be refunded in full.

Anyone cancelling up to three weeks prior to the conference will be refunded (if paid as part of the registration) any amounts paid over $200.

Anyone cancelling within three weeks prior to the conference and all no-shows will not be eligible for a refund.
