AiLIFEA seminar series and community for anyone curious about how AI is changing research
AiLIFE: Accelerating life sciences with AI and agents
From literature analysis and experiment planning to data analysis, molecular design, image analysis and automated labs, AI is reshaping how life science is done. AiLIFE brings life scientists and AI researchers together to explore what works, what doesn't yet, and what comes next.
Expect practical talks from local and international speakers, live demonstrations and open discussion. Bring your questions, share your own workflows, and suggest topics and speakers. Whether AI is already part of your research or you're wondering how it could be, join us and help shape this growing community.

What we talk about
Where AI meets the life sciences
-
01
AI agents
Systems that plan, call tools and act: from literature-scale reasoning to fully automated agentic workflows.
-
02
Foundation models for biology
Large models of genomes, proteins, cells and images to help us predict, design and interpret biological systems.
-
03
AI-guided experiments
Automating the loop between hypotheses, experiments and data interpretation.
-
04
Automated laboratories
Self-driving labs and robotics — the practical challenges of bringing autonomous agents into the wet lab and the clinic
Hosts
