AI for Biopharma (S1E1): From Scientific Discovery to Diagnostics


Details
Join us for an evening exploring how AI and machine learning are transforming the way we approach scientific research and healthcare diagnostics. This meetup brings together two exciting frontiers of ML in the life sciences—one focused on enabling scientific discovery through autonomous AI agents, and the other on using ML to unlock the immune system’s secrets for faster, more precise diagnostics.
Whether you’re deep in the data or just curious about where AI is heading in biopharma, this is the place to connect, learn, and be inspired.

### Featured Talks: One Technology, Two Transformative Applications
1. Agentic AI as a Scientific Collaborator
Speaker: Berke Buyukkucak
CEO & Co-founder, SuperBio.ai
What happens when AI stops being a tool and starts becoming a collaborator? In this talk, Berke will explore how agentic AI systems are stepping into the role of scientific partners—designing experiments, generating hypotheses, and accelerating discovery in ways that extend the capabilities of human researchers. Learn how SuperBio.ai is building autonomous AI agents that work alongside scientists to revolutionize R&D in biotech.
2. Decoding the Immune Response: ML-Driven Diagnostics at Inflammatix
Speaker: Nandita Damaraju
Senior Machine Learning Scientist, Inflammatix
What if we could read the immune system to diagnose infections? In this talk, Nandita Damaraju will share how Inflammatix is doing exactly that. Inflammatix uses machine learning to build models that extract meaningful signals from the body’s immune response, interpret them, and make diagnostic predictions. These models enable rapid and accurate insights for infectious diseases and are deployed on a real-time platform that supports timely clinical decisions in critical care.
