Bay Area Frontier Research Club #21 | AI × Bio (dinner + paper discussion at Stanford)
The Frontier Research Club is a curated forum for rigorous, technical discussion at the frontier of AI. We convene researchers from the frontier labs, Stanford, Berkeley, and the teams building in production to examine concrete work — papers, methods, and results — with a bias toward assumptions, evaluation methodology, failure modes, and what would count as convincing evidence.
Each session features 2–3 talks selected for rigor and discussion value. Presentations are intentionally brief so the majority of time is reserved for questions and critique. Papers and supporting materials are shared in advance to ensure a high-baseline conversation.

Who should attend
Experimental biologists — single-cell, perturbation screens, functional genomics, wet-lab work that generates the data these models train on
Computational biologists and bioinformaticians
ML researchers working on biological data — foundation models, generative models, causal inference, benchmarking
Drug discovery and translational teams from pharma and biotech
Research engineers and lab automation people building the layer between the model and the bench
Founders building in AI × bio, and the investors backing them
Capacity is limited.
We will take photos and short video clips for event recap and promotion. By attending, you consent to being photographed and recorded, and to the use of those images and clips by the organizers on social media and other event marketing channels.

Hosted by
The Frontier Syndicate is a venture community connecting frontier tech researchers, builders, and investors through curated convenings and early-stage capital.
Across the Bay Area we run a recurring series of research forums, builder nights, and intimate investor dinners — and we back exceptional companies emerging from the labs, communities, and technical networks we convene. The AI × Bio Track is our first vertical extension of that series, built for the people turning biology into a computational discipline.
