In Silico #004

​Recent advancements in computation are transforming the biomolecular sciences - from fine simulations of molecular structure and drug discovery, to coarse-grained systems analysis of complex biochemical, metabolic, or genetic networks. We can now accomplish in days what once took large teams of chemists and biologists months to design.

​Join us to discuss the future of biology and drug development with flash talks from:

• ​McClain Thiel (UCL / Encode Fellow) - "Reinforcement learning and Genomic Language Models"

• ​Patrick Kidger (Cradle Bio) - "Notes from the horizontals and verticals of AI-biotech"

• ​Katarina Petrovic (Oxford) - “Flow Matching for Learning Cell Dynamics“

• ​Ivan Jayapurna (ARIA) - "Proteins = Universal Fabricators"

• ​6:00pm: Doors open. Please do not arrive earlier.
