AI Agents in Life Science
November 3, 2025 @ 10:00 – 15:00 CET
We are delighted to invite you to join our upcoming workshop on “AI Agents in Life Science”, co-organized between SciLifeLab Data Centre and eSSENCE. AI agents are emerging as autonomous systems that orchestrate scientific workflows by interacting with digital tools and data sources. These have various implications for life science research. They can, for example, simplify complex analyses by automating data integration, run computational models, and coordinate experimental steps, making research pipelines more efficient and reproducible. In this onsite workshop held at Trippelrummet, Navet, Uppsala we will introduce and discuss AI Agents in life science, and engage in collaborative practical sessions. Welcome!
Date: 2025-11-03
Time: 10.00-15.00 (coffee will be served outside Trippelrummet from 9.30). Fika and lunch provided free of charge.
Location: Trippelrummet, SciLifeLab, Uppsala. No remote participation.
Target audience: Researchers and PhD students interested in learning more about and trying hands-on exercises with AI Agents. Basic Python programming skills are required. Participants must bring their own laptop.
Speakers and Facilitators: Ola Spjuth,Prof. SciLifeLab AI lead, Chris Long Huynh, MSc, Uppsala University, and Mahbub Ul Alam and Johan Alfredéen, Data Engineers (AI) at SciLifeLab Data Centre.
The workshop will feature a series of engaging presentations, interactive discussions, and collaborative sessions focusing on:
- Introduction to AI agent technologies
- Applications, opportunities and challenges of AI Agents in life science
- Hands-on tutorials with reasoning models, LangChain and MCP servers
- Discussions on the role of AI agents in shaping the future of life science
