Title: Current state of AI agents in life sciences
Speaker: Mahbub Ul Alam (AI Data Engineer, SciLifeLab Data Centre)
Where and when: February 5, 2026 at 10:00-11:00 Stockholm time, online. Registration is open till February 5 at 9:00.
Abstract: 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 online webinar we will give an introduction into what AI agents are, discuss their potential in life sciences, and give an overview of the most recent popular AI agent platforms that have emerged in the past months/year.
This is an introduction-level webinar where we will give a basic overview of AI agents. For more in-depth discussion and hands-on workshop consider, for example, this on-site workshop.
Target audience: Anyone working in or with life science research is welcome.
