Thank you to Maria Cristina Russo, Director for Research and Innovation of the European Commission, for visiting AITHYRA and to discuss talent attraction and societal impact in Europe. Our Faculty had the chance to present their vision and research plans, right after their first retreat in Vienna.
AITHYRA #AIinLifeScience Symposium Participants (c) Bubu Dujmic
Everything comes to an end, but we have the feeling that the first AITHYRA #AIinLifeScience Symposium in Vienna can only be the beginning of a conference series. Thanks to all participants for a successful event! www.oeaw.ac.at/aithyra/about
“We can do science in a different way: generate very big datasets, train models with them, and then use that to predict and engineer biology”, says @benlehner.bsky.social from @sangerinstitute.bsky.social at the #AITHYRA #AIForLifeScience Symposium
“We need to start all over again and reinvent small molecule drug discovery in a way that is native to AI”, Greg Verdine, Co-Founder, President and CEO of LifeMine Therapeutics, is convinced. #AIForLifeScience #AITHYRA
The current grand challenge in AI, that @marinkazitnik.bsky.social from @harvard.edu is especially excited about, is developing systems that serve as collaborative partners, working alongside human scientists. #AIForLifeScience #AITHYRA
The next big thing in AI for his field will be “modelling protein dynamics, not just static structures”, @moalquraishi.bsky.social from @columbiauniversity.bsky.social emphasises at #AITHYRA ‘s #AIForLifeScience Symposium
“Machine learning will have the capability to find patterns where we can’t see them with our own brains or our own eyes”, says @deboramarks.bsky.social from @harvard.edu at the #AIForLifeScience symposium of #AITHYRA
