MoML @ MIT 2025

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 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 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 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 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 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.
