Fine-Tuning Foundation Models in Biology

​Join EPPIC Global and Strand Life Sciences for an evening of networking, food, and discussion at MBC BioLabs in San Carlos.

​The program will center on a panel discussion on:

​"Fine-Tuning Foundation Models in Biology"

​The panel will explore how foundation models are being adapted for biological applications, what it takes to make them useful in real scientific and clinical settings, and where fine-tuning can have the biggest impact across genomics, variant interpretation, diagnostics, precision medicine, and drug discovery.

​The discussion will be followed by audience Q&A, with networking and food on either side of the program.

​Panelists and moderator will be announced soon.
