Workshop on AI for Bioscience

Workshop on AI for Bioscience

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the biosciences, offering powerful tools to uncover complex biological patterns, accelerate discovery, and drive innovation in healthcare, agriculture, and biotechnology. From understanding molecular mechanisms and disease progression to optimising diagnostics and drug development, AI is becoming an indispensable partner in bioscience research and application.

This Workshop brings together researchers and innovators to explore how AI can accelerate scientific discovery and address pressing challenges in health, antimicrobial resistance, and nutrition. It is part of the Northern Ireland Landscape Partnership in AI for Bioscience (NILAB), a BBSRC-funded doctoral training programme dedicated to advancing AI-bioscience research and talent development, with support from Centre for Sustainable and Intelligence Computing (CISC). It aims to:

• Share recent advances and research challenges at the intersection of AI and the biosciences.
• Foster academic and industrial collaborations in the form of PhD supervision, student placements, guest lectures, and joint research initiatives.
• Provide inputs from academic and industrial communities to help shape the vision and scope of the NILAB Programme.
