An honest conversation about what it takes to make ML work in biotherapeutics
Hear from experts at Sanofi, Eli Lilly, Amgen, AbbVie, and Genmab as they share real-world lessons from adopting AI/ML in biologics discovery and engineering.
From bridging lab and data science workflows to dealing with scattered data and real-world model limitations, the panel offers a candid look at what works, what doesn’t, and why. Gain a grounded perspective on the everyday decisions behind successful ML implementation, with practical insights on preparing data, aligning teams, and deploying models where they matter most: in scientists’ hands.
Discussion points:
- Why structured, high-throughput data and robust pipelines matter at least as much as the ML models themselves
- What it takes to move from scattered analyses to automated, end-to-end workflows that support ML adoption
- Why AI initiatives stall, and what it takes to operationalize ML models and shift team culture
- Overcoming AI adoption blockers, including siloed teams, missing expertise, and infrastructure limitationsHow to ensure lab scientists can actually use ML model outputs in their day-to-day work
