SLAS and ELRIG are pleased to invite you to our joint December Meet-Up. Join us for a year-end networking event that brings our communities together for an afternoon of connection and scientific discussion. This discussion will feature three experts (Anna Gogleva, PhD and James Opzoomer, PhD from Relation RX, and Thomas Frech, Digital & Physical Lab Expert and Product Strategist) offering complementary perspectives on how AI is reshaping modern drug discovery. The talks will collectively explore where AI delivers real value today, how machine learning can reason across complex biological data, and how emerging experimental platforms create the foundation for closed-loop discovery systems.
This free event is a great opportunity to wrap up the year while engaging with fellow scientists, students and entrepreneurs.
