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"
Schedule
6:00pm: Doors open. Please do not arrive earlier.
6:30pm: Flash Talks start.
7:40pm: Pizza and Drinks.
