Bio-AI Show & Tell | Valence Labs
What is Show & Tell?
Join Valence Labs for an evening with Montréal’s ML, biology, and engineering community to share what truly excites them. It’s a lightweight stage for the biologists rethinking experiments, the researchers building new assays, and the ML scientists pushing the limits of biological modelling.
Works-in-progress welcome, demos encouraged.
We are not looking for anything polished. This isn’t a 3-minute thesis or a conference talk; it’s about genuine enthusiasm and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly. Keep it simple and high-level, one problem, one idea, one takeaway.
Most importantly, be creative and have fun!
Example Topics:
A recent research result or open question in Bio-AI
“Methods in the making” you’re developing
A bio assay / lab workflow you’re reinventing with ML
A tool, dataset, or startup you’re building
A niche obsession and why it matters for Bio‑AI
