​Artificial Intelligence in Drug Discovery — Building, Validating, and Using Models

​Speaker: Andreas Bender
Affiliation: Khalifa University
Date: 7 October 2026
Time: 17:00 CEST / 18:00 EEST

​About the talk

​AI models are now everywhere — but putting a model to useful work in a real decision-making process or workflow can be much more difficult than building the model itself.

​In this presentation, Andreas Bender will discuss the challenges of moving from “model” to “process” in the context of drug discovery. He will explore practical considerations around data, model inputs and outputs, validation, and other factors that determine whether an AI model can be reliably integrated into real-world workflows.

​The discussion will draw on recent developments in the field, including work on AI models for drug discovery.
