AI Tools for Life Sciences Researchers: Free Workshop @ Harvard

​This one-day workshop, led by AI researchers at Harvard Medical School, and supported by a Schmidt Sciences grant (from Eric Schmidt), will teach you how to use cutting-edge AI tools to improve the quality of your papers by focussing on advanced data analysis — no prior coding experience required.

Who Should Attend

• ​Graduate students, postdocs, and faculty across the sciences at Boston / Cambridge universities

• ​Researchers with minimal or no coding experience who work with data

• ​Scientists curious about integrating advanced AI into their research daily process

​
What You'll Learn

• ​How to set up tools such as Claude Code for scientific data analysis (zero coding experience required)

• ​Prompt engineering strategies for complex analytical tasks

• ​How to leverage planning modes, agents, and AI tool integrations

• ​How to go from raw data to a polished report in hours, not weeks, without a data scientist
  
  

​About the Study

​This workshop is part of a Schmidt Sciences-funded pilot study investigating how AI tools reshape the scientific discovery process. The research team includes faculty from Harvard Business School, Harvard Medical School, and UC Merced.

​Space is limited to 40 participants. Priority given to researchers who are actively working on a publication and have their own unique data that they would like to analyze with AI tools after the workshop.
