​If you want to watch biology in motion, watch the proteome: it shifts with disease, treatment, and time. Mass spectrometry provides a window onto this moving picture, which is getting dramatically better right now: new instruments quantify thousands of proteins in minutes, not hours, making population-scale and even routine clinical proteomics realistic for the first time, opening up new opportunities for drug discovery, therapy and diagnostics. 

The 2026 Berlin Summer School on Artificial Intelligence and Society invites researchers and practitioners to explore the parameters which have to be considered when AI systems are designed to act autonomously. The programme will focus on fundamental questions at the interface between autonomous systems, trustworthy machine learning, and robotics, as well as deployment in critical areas such as healthcare and scientific infrastructures.
