AI for Health Symposium 2025

 The AI for Health Symposium 2025 will explore recent advancements in generative AI models for molecule discovery, with a focus on applications in health and drug development.

We will also be on site with a Baiosphere booth. Come by and listen to our pitch presented by Lydia Generotzky, Head of Science.

Topics include AI-driven design of small molecules, peptides, and proteins, drug repurposing, and AI-based modeling of DNA and RNA sequences.

We aim to address both the opportunities and challenges in applying generative AI to these critical areas of research over this day-long event.

Keynotes speakers:

Christian Dallago - Duke University / NVIDIA

César de la Fuente - University of Pennsylvia, US 

Francesca Grisoni - Eindhoven University of Technology, NL

Birte Höcker - Bayreuth University, DE
