*Automation of research processes with LLMs and AI*

*SciLifeLab invites you to the ‘Automation of research processes with LLMs
and AI’ symposium on March 6 at Eva & Georg Klein lecture hall, Biomedicum,
Karolinska Institutet Campus Solna.*

*The purpose:* Practical knowledge sharing, inspiration, and reflection on
the future of scientific processes in life sciences and health research.

*Target group:* Academic, healthcare, and industry researchers in the broad
life sciences are welcome to attend.

*Speakers: *

   - Olli Kallioniemi, KI/FIMM – AI-Empowered Life Science: How can you
   benefit today and in the future?
   - Phil Ewels, Seqera – Incorporating LLMs and AI agents in computational
   scientific workflows
   - Melissa Harrison, EMBL-EBI – How Europe PMC uses and supports LLM
   development for research workflows

*More information*

More and more AI-based tools are being integrated into scientific research
processes, from simple academic text editing tools to automated labs
empowered by large language models (LLMs) running experiments and making
scientific conclusions. For researchers in life sciences and health,
developments in the AI technologies are important because of the high
potential, large monetary investments, but also expectations about future
breakthroughs.

This one-day event offers an opportunity for the researchers to hear about
specific examples of incorporating Large Language Models (LLMs) and other
recent developments in foundational AI models in research workflows as well
as to discuss the future of scientific research processes with this new
technology present.

We will start the morning with inspirational talks about new advances in
research workflow automation. During lunch, there will be a possibility to
network and discuss different perspectives with other attendees. After
lunch, we plan to have interactive sessions where the audience can share
and discuss visions and expectations, including spontaneous flash/pop-up
talks by the attendees.



Welcome!
