About MAIP

Madison AI for Proteins (MAIP) is a new initiative to bring together researchers at UW-Madison working in machine learning/AI for molecular biology, structural biology, and more. We draw inspiration from the Maip dinosaur, a large raptorid that lived in South America. For more information and event notifications, please join our Google group by clicking here or emailing maip+subscribe@g-groups.wisc.edu. MAIP acknowledges support from the UW-Madison Data Science Institute’s Rise AI Collaboration HQ.
