AI Agents in Life Sciences (in Stockholm)
March 5 @ 10:00 – 15:30 CET
We are delighted to invite you to join our upcoming workshop on “AI Agents in Life Sciences”, organized by SciLifeLab Data Centre. 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 Air & Fire, SciLifeLab building in Solna, we will introduce and discuss AI Agents in life science, and engage in collaborative practical sessions. Welcome!
Date: 2026-03-05
Time: 10.00-15.30 (coffee will be served from 9.30). Fika and lunch provided free of charge.
Location: room Air & Fire, SciLifeLab, Tomtebodavägen 23, Solna. No remote participation.
Target audience: Researchers and PhD students interested in learning more about and trying hands-on exercises with AI Agents. Participants with any university affiliation and industry researchers are welcome. Basic Python programming skills, previous experience working with Jupyter notebooks would be helpful. Participants must bring their own laptop.
Speakers and Facilitators: Chris Long Huynh (PhD candidate, 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
