Please join us for our next Bioinformatics London meetup, where we welcome **Francisco Azuaje**, Director of Bioinformatics and AI at **Genomics England**, for a talk on what it really takes to turn powerful models and rich datasets into safe, trustworthy impact in the clinic. **Francisco Azuaje** is Director of Bioinformatics at **Genomics England**, where he leads applied ML and GenAI across national-scale genomic and clinical datasets. With 25+ years across academia, public sector and pharma (including UCB and the Luxembourg Institute of Health), his work focuses on what actually works in AI for bioinformatics: moving from proof-of-concept to robust, governed systems that clinicians and patients can trust. In this talk, he will discuss real-world lessons from deploying AI in genomics pipelines and health data platforms, touching on verification, safety, organisational friction, and why the hard problems now are as much social and operational as they are technical. Approximate schedule: * 18:30 – Doors open * 18:45 – Chitchat, announcements * 19:00 – Talk and Q&A * 19:45 – End, then adjourn to a nearby pub for informal discussion Please **RSVP at least the day before** so we can provide an attendee list to reception. Make sure your Meetup name looks like a real name (e.g. “J Smith” or “Jane Jones”, not “weaselstabber”) so University of Westminster reception can identify you. We look forward to seeing you there for an honest discussion about what it takes to make AI and genomics work *for* real patients, not just in demos.

Come anf try your first taster session. Receive tools from an expert and practice in front of others in a friendly and supportive environment, and then receive feedback. Become confident and influence others with communication skills.

Come and join me for some **energising Yoga, healing Qi gong and relaxing meditation** and connect with some lovely people. This is your “me” time to nourish your mind, body and spirit, release energy blockages holding you back, heal your body and lift your spirits ☺️ “I've been going to Sarah's Qi Gong class for nearly 3 years, and it is amazing. Many a time I start off the class feeling out of sorts and low and I come away feeling so peaceful and trusting that everything will be OK. Sarah is an amazing teacher and so welcoming and has a very strong healing energy about her, and the small group of women has formed a really nice bond. There is a varied mix of things we do in the class including energy medicine, yoga stretches, sometimes dance, meditation, chakras- the list goes on! I have health issues and it is a really good healing rest for my body. So glad I found it and Sarah- wouldn't miss it for the world.” Grace, Sheffield I have been running this special class since lockdown and have a group of regular people who attend (which doesn’t show on RSVP). We have created a **beautiful high vibrational energy** in this class that is healing, nurturing and uplifting. 🌺 Yoga is known to help **release tension from the muscles** where we hold stress, this in turn releases tension from the mind. We will do spiritual yoga which is the traditional form of yoga. It’s gentle, slow, meditation in movement. 🌺 Qi gong is an ancient Chinese healing practice which is gentle yet powerful at calming the mind, **clearing energy blockages** and healing the body. We will do various movements each week such as techniques that help with digestion & adrenal glands to restore your energy that I will share intuitively where I feel guided. 🌺 Donna Eden energy exercises are a form of gentle movements that help boost the immune system and clear stuck energy which causes low mood and lack of motivation. We also do **chakra clearing** to help you to feel more emotionally balanced. 🌺 Meditation to help calm mind chatter and breathing exercises to calm the nervous system and lift the mood. I also guide you through a gratitude practice at the end that **helps you to manifest what you desire!** **ENERGY EXCHANGE**\~ £6 only. Although this is a very uplifting healing class that is of high value, I keep the price low so that it’s accessible to everyone. Book your space here: https://buytickets.at/sarahmonreal/676431 & you will receive the zoom link via email. Check your junk box just in case. If you wish to do the class in your own time. Here’s the link to get your recording. It’s £5 and is 50 minutes long. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/sarahalvarez/496209 **What you need to bring** If you have a yoga Matt that’s great, if not you can do the exercises on the floor. I recommend investing in a yoga Matt so you can do the floor movements comfortably. Amazon and EBay sell reasonably priced yoga matts from £10. Please also have a cushion nearby as you may need it for some movements. \*\*By participating in this class you agree to take full responsibility for your health and even though this class is gentle, contacting your doctor if you have a medical condition which you are concerned about may affect your ability to participate. You are advised to listen to your body during the class & do what feels comfortable. You are welcome to sit during many of the qi gong moves, it will be just as powerful. I look forward to seeing you there! Testimonials from regular attendees Sarah is always so welcoming, friendly and relaxed, creating a wonderful space for us to focus on ourselves. I love the blend of different practices where my body is gently stretched, my mind calmed and my spirit nourished. No matter how I feel beforehand I always feel relaxed and uplifted afterwards. I would highly recommend this to everyone! Susie, Kent I’ve been doing Sarah’s class for a few years and find it very helpful. The moves are easy to do yet have a big impact. I always feel better afterwards. Jacquie, London

**About the London Software Guild** ​The London Software Guild gathers developers, architects, and teams across London who care deeply about the craft of building great software. No fluff, no vendor pitches — just people who take the work seriously, sharing what they've learned the hard way. *** ## ​**Tonight's Speakers** ## ​**🎤 Kieran — Founding Engineer, Demand-Genius** ​Kieran is a founding engineer at Demand-Genius, working to close the gap between how humans and machines perceive your brand versus reality. Background in electrical & electronic engineering, previously working on real-time payments systems, high-scale distributed dynamic rules engines, and reverse proxies. Third Start-Up/Scale-Up (because I'm dumb and have never learnt my lesson). ​ **Talk: The Statistical (Un)Certainty That Our AI Co-Founder Ruins Everything** ​We have handed the most powerful text prediction machines ever built the keys to our codebases. They write code that is statistically likely to be correct. But "statistically likely" and "correct" are not the same thing. As we move toward autonomous multi-agent systems writing production code at machine speed, that gap becomes the central engineering problem of our time. ​Code is not text. It is a formal, deterministic, mathematical structure that happens to be serialised as text. Every tool in the agentic coding stack — retrieval, editing, version control, coordination — treats it as text. ​This talk argues that the answer isn't better frontier models. It's better systems around models. Specifically, the engineering disciplines we've used for a century to control uncertain systems — feedback loops, formal verification, dependency analysis, and control theory — are the missing layer between "AI can write code" and "AI can write code you can trust." *** ## ​**🎤 Andy Roberts — Senior Engineering Leader** ​Andy Roberts is a senior engineering leader with 25+ years of experience — the kind where you've actually written the code, run the teams, and been in the room when things went wrong at scale. Previously Head of EMEA Enterprise Solutions at Apollo GraphQL, where he helped companies like [Booking.com](https://booking.com/), PayPal, and The New York Times stop arguing about their APIs. Before that, Head of API Engineering at RS Components, wrangling 11 teams. Has strong opinions about federated architecture and isn't afraid to use them. ​ **Talk: Built for Browsers, Billed by Tokens** *Your microservices solved for latency. AI agents are solving for context. Nobody told your APIs.* ​Every era of software development has been defined by a constraint that reshaped architecture. In the database era we optimised for round trips. In the web era we obsessed over latency. Mobile forced us to think about bandwidth and battery. Each shift required new instincts, new patterns, new defaults. We're in the middle of another one. ​The AI era introduces a new constraint: context. Language models have finite working memory, and every API response your services return goes into it. The kitchen-sink response payloads that work fine for browsers are quietly making your AI agents more expensive and less capable — and the cost is almost entirely invisible in your existing dashboards. ​This talk maps the constraint transition from latency to context, shows what it means for the microservice APIs you have today, and offers five concrete things you can do about it without touching a line of existing backend code.
