AI in Biosciences Workshop
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming an increasingly important technology for research across all disciplines. In biology many powerful AI tools have been developed for analysing imaging data, investigating molecular changes and predicting molecular structure.
To explore these approaches and build community for use of AI in the biosciences, Robert Knight (representing AIBIO-UK and the King’s AI Institute) together with Carmine Ventre (King’s AI Institute director) and colleagues in FoDOCS (Yunpeng Li, Mads Bergholt, Linda Gane) organised a half day symposia on Guy’s campus on May 29th.
Colleagues from FoDOCS, FoLSM, NMES and IoPPN attended for a lively series of short talks, discussions and exploration of concepts in deployment of AI tools for bioscience research.
They were fortunate to be joined by Ivan Liachko from Phase Genomics in Seattle, U.S.A., to hear about their use of AI for analysing microbiome interactions in the context of human health. Following an overview of AI architectures and the mathematical basis of their function by Carmine, they welcomed Denis Battistella and Paul Graham from NVIDIA to discuss the learning resource they offer and how to benefit from their resources, with further discussions planned with director of eResearch, Richard Christie, for accessing these at King’s.
Follow ups to the meeting include aiming to build community further across King’s through the King’s AI for Bioscience initiative, in which we aim to capture information about users of AI and those interested in using AI tools for their work which can be shared.
