ClawBio @ Kendall - Agentic Biology Networking Event
ClawBio is an open-source platform and international community building trustworthy agentic AI infrastructure for genomics, bioinformatics, and computational biology. The work is mostly public and mostly distributed. What it does not yet have is a regular in-person center of gravity in Boston, which is one of the densest concentrations of genomics, biotechnology, and AI engineering talent anywhere. This is the first ClawBio gathering in Cambridge, MA, and it is deliberately small so that everyone in the room can actually meet everyone else.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Computational biologists and genomic scientists. AI and ML researchers and engineers working on agents, tool use, and evaluation. Biotech and platform founders. Software engineers building scientific infrastructure. Clinical and translational researchers who will have to sign off on agent-produced results. Investors and community builders who follow this space closely.
You do not need to use ClawBio, or to have made up your mind about agents. Skepticism, argued well, is welcome.
WHAT TO EXPECT
An informal evening in a restaurant, not a conference.
6:00 p.m. Arrive, drinks, introductions
6:20 p.m. Ten minutes from Manuel Corpas on why agentic biology matters now and what ClawBio is building
6:30 p.m. Open conversation
7:15 p.m. A short optional round of introductions, so the room knows who is in it
8:30 p.m. Close
No slide decks, no pitches, no panel.
ABOUT CLAWBIO
ClawBio is open infrastructure for agentic science. It lets AI agents perform scientific work through explicit, versioned, auditable skills, so that what an agent did can be inspected, reproduced, and challenged. The broader goal is to make biological AI systems reproducible, inspectable, interoperable, and scientifically trustworthy.

PRACTICAL DETAILS
Wednesday, August 5, 2026, 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Catalyst Restaurant, 300 Technology Square, Cambridge, MA 02139 Cost: Free to attend. Attendees purchase their own food and drinks. Registration: Required. Please register only if you intend to come.
Places are VERY limited and registration does not automatically guarantee admission. Registrations are reviewed and confirmed, and we aim for a mix of backgrounds rather than a room of people who already work on the same thing. If the event fills, join the waiting list and we will contact you as places open up, which they usually do. Everyone who registers will hear about future Boston gatherings.
CODE OF CONDUCT
This is a professional gathering. Be respectful, be inclusive, and assume good faith. Disagree with ideas as sharply as you like and treat people generously. No recruiting pressure, no hard selling, no recording of conversations without consent. If anything makes you uncomfortable, tell Manuel or write to mc@manuelcorpas.com, and it will be handled quietly and quickly.
