This one-day event brings together UCL experts for an in-depth exploration of AI for biologics. The day features a series of presentations, panel discussions and interactive sessions designed to showcase how AI is transforming the entire biologics lifecycle - from early discovery and clinical application to regulatory approval.

This is a unique opportunity to gain insight into the expertise available at UCL and connect with researchers across different disciplines, including the life and medical sciences, as well as computer and engineering sciences. Beyond the presentations, our interactive roundtables will give you the chance to see how these technologies can be applied to address your specific research challenges. The event aims to bring together UCL's internal expertise, identify existing capabilities, and promote synergistic partnerships. Ultimately, this will better equip the UCL research community to effectively respond to relevant national and international funding calls by leveraging our combined strengths and strengthening UCL’s position with external partners in this space.

Notes:

This event is open to UCL researchers at all career stages from postdoctoral level onwards.
We encourage participation from researchers working in the biologics space (with or without prior AI/ML experience), those working on AI/ML technologies, and those interested in cross-field collaboration.
We kindly ask that registrants commit to attending the full day to maximise value for all participants.
Cancellation: Due to limited space, if you can no longer attend, please notify us as early as possible so we can release the space to other researchers.
Please register using your UCL email address. Bookings made with non-UCL email accounts will be cancelled.
