Mapping Foundational Models to Use Cases in Biotech and Pharma

Foundational models hold immense potential with hundreds of valuable downstream applications. However, determining which model suits a specific application can be daunting and often overwhelming for many researchers.

To bridge this gap, this session will guide you through the complexities of selecting and applying the right models to your research needs.

- Get to know the most promising foundational models for biotech and pharma today.
- Learn how to categorize these models into various biologically compelling categories.
- Explore the data and compute requirements for each application.
