Her research focuses on generative AI and statistical modelling of medical data to accelerate clinical research and support data-driven medical decision-making. She is internationally recognized for her work on synthetic patient generation and artificial cohorts for clinical trials. Stéphanie is also Deputy Director of the PR[AI]RIE AI Institute\, Deputy Director of the AI and Health Department at Université Paris Cité Medical School\, and co-founder of Sonio\, a healthcare AI company focused on maternal and child health. \n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming clinical research and drug development by accelerating every stage of the process\, from molecular design to clinical trials. Large Language Models (LLMs) can streamline protocol development\, patient recruitment\, and statistical reporting\, reducing both costs and timelines. Reinforcement learning enables the design of novel therapeutic molecules with targeted properties\, while digital twins allow simulation of disease progression and treatment responses to improve trial design and patient selection. In parallel\, synthetic data generation and artificial patient cohorts are opening new possibilities for supplementing or replacing traditional control arms while maintaining scientific rigor and regulatory compliance. Through real-world examples\, this presentation will explore how these AI-driven innovations are reshaping clinical research and enabling faster development of new therapies. \n\n\n\nAbout Clinical Talks\n\n\n\nClinical Talks returns with a new season! \n\n\n\nAfter seven successful seasons and over seventy dedicated speakers\, we are excited to continue showcasing the contributions of our diverse clinical\, academic\, and industry life science community. This season will feature ten insightful talks following our well-established format. \n\n\n\nThe overarching theme is “How to Achieve Feasible Implementation”. Sessions are held monthly\, usually on Fridays via Zoom\, with occasional exceptions. Each talk will be followed by an engaging Q&A session\, moderated by standing host Rikard Fred and a guest moderator with subject matter expertise to enrich the discussion. \n\n\n\nIn today’s rapidly evolving post-pandemic landscape\, exploring how academic\, clinical\, and industry research\, combined with technological advancements\, can drive practical and sustainable solutions is crucial.

The seminar series is open to everyone. The seminar is run over Zoom on the third Friday of the month during academic terms\, typically between 10 and 11 am\, with approx. 45 min presentation and 15 min discussion. \n\n\n\nWhen: November 20\, 10:00-11:00 \n\n\n\nWhere: Zoom http://meet.nbis.se/ainw \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Tony Lindgren \n\n\n\nSenior Lecturer\,. Head of the Systems Analysis and Security Unit\, Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV)\, Stockholm University \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nI will present an overview of the research project\, Extreme Food Risk Analytics (EFRA) and also more deeply present some of the contributions made by Stockholm University within this setting. \n\n\n\nThe aim of the project was to increase food safety for European citizens. The project acknowledges that there is a wide array of data sources holding crucial information about the food that we eat. The problem is that these sources are heterogeneous – and sometimes hidden. In the project we explored how data can be mined\, aggregated and analyzed using AI. Not taking full advantage of this wealth of public and private data comes at a great cost: Despite best efforts and modern techniques\, consumers world-wide still get sick from contaminated foodstuff and food companies suffer huge economic and legal penalties from product food recalls. \n\n\n\nEFRA’s core ambition was to overcome these boundaries by exploring novel\, experimental and promising approaches in extreme data mining\, aggregation\, and analytics technologies. By recognizing and collecting this wealth of heterogeneous data\, scattered throughout the internet\, and convert it into a “universal language” of high-quality risk food data\, EFRA will be able to train AI-models to proactively provide risk mitigation measures (based on predictive awareness of short- and long-term risks) with an explainable\, secure\, sensitive\, accurate\, trustworthy\, fair and green manner\, before occurrence of potential food safety hazard. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the speaker: The speaker is an associate professor at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV)\, Stockholm University. In 2006 he received his Ph.D. degree in computer and system sciences. He has worked both in academia and industry since 2008\, he is the inventor of numerous patents and the author of numerous scientific articles. His research is aimed at exploring machine learning in general but has a special interest in using data-driven methods for predictive maintenance problems. During his time at Scania\, Dr. Lindgren worked on applying his research to solve practical problems such as the maintenance optimization of Scania heavy trucks. Since 2019\, Tony Lindgren has been the head of the Systems Analysis and Security Unit at DSV\, Stockholm University. \n\n\n\nTo stay updated\, you can join our email list by contacting ai-network@scilifelab.se. \n\n\n\n\nJoin Seminar URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/extreme-food-risk-analytics-horizon-europe/ LOCATION:Online event via Zoom CATEGORIES:Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20261123T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20261123T143000 DTSTAMP:20261111T102252Z CREATED:20261111T101847Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261111T102252Z UID:10001932-1795442400-1795444200@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Bouncing Back and Reframing Failure - CSI Seminar DESCRIPTION:We are excited to host a new Coaching in Science Initiative (CSI) Seminar titled: ‘Bouncing Back and Reframing Failure’ \n\n\n\nFailure is often seen as final and absolute: that no more progress can be made\, and that all aspects of the work had missed the target. But what if we flip that narrative and see failure as an opportunity for reflection\, growth and renewal? What if we reframed failures as part of the learning process and an opportunity to build resilience in ourselves and our organisation? \n\n\n\nWe will discuss how failures and the organizational culture that defines what is considered a “failure” impact the individual\, group and organization as a whole. How to reframe failure in ourselves and others as an opportunity for reflection\, redirection\, growth and resilience\, as well as strategies for reflecting and bouncing back from failure. \n\n\n\nDate: 23/11/2026Time: 14:00 – 14:30Zoom link: https://ki-se.zoom.us/j/61720717724On-site location: Gamma 2 lunch room \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a ~ 20 min talk\, held in Solna and over zoom\, then proceed with a reflection and discussion held on-site. We encourage other sites to form watch parties\, by listening in together to the talk and then hold their own discussion afterwards. Hopefully seeding many local chapters of CSI.To help facilitate discussion and reflection\, consider the following starter questions:Awareness: how does organizational culture define what is considered failure and how we should react to such?Analysis: how do we perceive failure in ourselves and in our work?Alternative: how do we reframe failure as an opportunity for reflection\, redirection and growth?Action: how can I implement strategies to reframe failure in myself and in others? \n\n\n\nPlease forward this to friends and colleagues! \n\n\n\nYours sincerely\, \n\n\n\nThe CSI Team URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/bouncing-back-and-reframing-failure-csi-seminar/ LOCATION:Gamma 2 Lunchroom\, SciLifeLab\, Tomtebodavägen 23\, Solna\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/CSI.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20261125T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20261125T120000 DTSTAMP:20261027T120548Z CREATED:20261027T112622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261027T120548Z UID:10001926-1795604400-1795608000@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Researchdata.se - Sweden’s national research data portal DESCRIPTION:The Swedish National Data Service (SND) is a national research infrastructure supporting accessibility\, long-term preservation\, and responsible reuse of research data. Central to SND’s mission are three key services: \n\n\n\n• Researchdata.se – a national data portal offering integrated access to datasets from multiple repositories\, including SND’s own DORIS\, the SciLifeLab Data Repository\, and approved Zenodo Communities. \n\n\n\n• SND DORIS – a repository for publishing and sharing datasets from individual research projects\, supporting high FAIR compliance. \n\n\n\n• The SND Network – a nationwide community promoting best practices in data management across institutions. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will address practical aspects of dataset publication\, including options for publishing sensitive data and linking research outputs such as code repositories and datasets. The presenters will also share insights from ongoing efforts to support Open Science through data and metadata interoperability.The seminar will highlight how SND’s services can support the life-science community by improving data discovery\, enabling data reuse\, and facilitating information exchange between organisations.We also welcome a discussion on how these services can better support life-science and open research\, and how SND can collaborate more effectively with related infrastructures to meet the needs of the life-science community. \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\nJohan Fihn Marberg – Swedish National Data Service\, Sweden \n\n\n\nDavid Rayner – Swedish National Data Service\, Sweden \n\n\n\nMore Information\n\n\n\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.More information about SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Open Science seminar series: https://www.scilifelab.se/data/scilifelab-data-management-seminar-series/ \n\n\n\nIf you have suggestions for topics or presentations\, please contact us at data-management@scilifelab.seFor more information or inquiries\, please contact us at  data-management@scilifelab.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/title-researchdata-se-swedens-national-research-data-portal/ LOCATION:Online event via Zoom ORGANIZER;CN="Open Science Seminar Series":MAILTO:data-management@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20261126T083000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20261126T170000 DTSTAMP:20261103T132348Z CREATED:20260603T084114Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261103T132348Z UID:10001841-1795681800-1795712400@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Mechanistic Modelling in Pharmacology\, Physiology\, and Neuroscience DESCRIPTION:Understanding complex biological systems requires more than data\, it demands mechanistic insight. This conference highlights how mechanistic models can integrate clinical and experimental data with computational approaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe volume and complexity of life science data are growing at an unprecedented pace. While computational tools are increasingly used to structure and analyze these data\, there remains a critical gap in our ability to understand the data in a mechanistic and physically realistic way. Bridging this gap is essential for uncovering the fundamental principles that govern the function of molecules\, cells\, organs\, and entire organisms. \n\n\n\nMechanistic models play a central role in this effort and are key to advancing applications such as the development of new pharmaceuticals and improved clinical interventions. However\, progress is often hindered by the lack of a shared language between experimental scientists\, clinicians\, and computational researchers. \n\n\n\nThis conference will bring together experts from these fields to explore state-of-the-art tools and methodologies\, discuss how they can be effectively applied\, and foster stronger integration across disciplines. By promoting collaboration and mutual understanding\, the meeting aims to accelerate progress in pharmacology\, physiology\, and neuroscience. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration closed\n\n\n\n\nRegistration deadline October 25 \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\n8:30 Registration opens \n\n\n\n9:00-12:15 Morning session: Molecules and Cells \n\n\n\nOpening – Fredrik Elinder \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJan Ellenberg – Imaging the molecular processes of cell division across scales\nProfessor\, Director of SciLifeLab \n\n\n\nThe rapid development of new imaging technologies allows unprecedented insights into the molecular machinery inside living cells and organisms. For the first time\, light and electron microscopy have molecular sensitivity and resolving power in situ\, and\, if used together\, can connect structural detail with molecular dynamics of the whole cell. Aided by machine learning driven image analysis powered by open sharing of image data\, this provides unprecedented opportunities for new insights into the molecular mechanisms that drive life’s core functions at the scale of the cell. \n\n\n\nI will present the progress we have made to study one of life’s most fundamental functions\, cell division\, by mapping the dynamic protein network\, assembly of individual protein complexes and genome re-folding that drive it. Our work has studied cell division in human cancer cells and early mammalian embryos using advanced cross-scale imaging methods\, including light-sheet\, quantitative fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS)-calibrated\, super-resolution and correlative light and electron microscopy. The quantitative integrated molecular data that these new technologies deliver\, allow us to better understand how the molecular machinery functions in space and time to ensure faithful cell division and prevent the errors that underlie congenital disease\, infertility and cancer. \n\n\n\n\nLucie Delemotte – Common evolutionary mechanism of activation of class A GPCRs\nSciLifeLab fellow\, KTH Royal Institute of Technology \n\n\n\nCells communicate with their environment by integrating signals\, often chemical in nature\, triggered by specific molecules binding to specific membrane-bound receptors\, resulting in a downstream signaling cascade. Arguably\, G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the most pharmacologically important family of such receptors\, binding small molecules\, peptides\, lipids\, and hormones with high specificity.However\, despite a highly conserved fold and sequence similarity\, GPCRs are still mostly studied on a case-by-case basis. Here\, we infer a general\, evolutionarily conserved mechanism of class A GPCR activation. By leveraging coevolution and machine learning methods applied to all class A GPCRs structures\, we derive a mathematical description (a so-called collective variable – CV) of the receptor’s activation state which is independent of its sequence. Then\, we bias molecular dynamics simulations along this CV to obtain transitions between activation states of a diverse set of class A GPCR family members. To demonstrate that our model generalizes beyond GPCRs in our training set\, we obtain conformational transitions of an orphan receptor\, GPR183. Finally\, we show that we can model ligand effect on the receptors by converging Free Energy Surfaces of activation of the β2-adrenergic receptor within this common mechanism framework. These results\, to ourknowledge\, prove for the first time the existence of a mechanism uniting all class A GPCRs. Our approach thus facilitates direct comparisons between receptors and opens up the possibility of structural and dynamical studies of many orphan and understudied GPCRs. It also serves as a blueprint for inferring family-wide protein mechanisms. \n\n\n\n\nBjörn Forsberg – Direct estimation of cryo-EM fields to control estimation of biological function\nDDLS Fellow\, Linköping University \n\n\n\nLearning molecular variability from cryo-EM data relies on strict manual control of correlated variables\, or the use of general ML frameworks that have to learn the correlative variation in addition to estimating it. This presents a complexity trade-off that is prone to bias in either modality\, preventing maximal use of current datasets. Here we present an approach that seeks to parameterize 3D cryo-EM reconstructions in maximally interpretable ways\, based on general causative mechanisms\, that can then be recast to provide explicit learning objectives through an explicit model. This seeks to minimize the bias incurred by specifying ad-hoc mechanistic models\, and efficiently regularize general learning frameworks. \n\n\n\n\n10:15-10:45 Coffee \n\n\n\nErik Lindahl – Title TBA\nProfessor Stockholm University\, Linköping University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, Director of National Academic Infrastructure for Super­computing in Sweden (NAISS) \n\n\n\nFocus TBA \n\n\n\n\nFredrik Heintz – From Language to Knowledge and Back Again\nProfessor\, Linköping University\, WASP Graduate School Director \n\n\n\nFocus TBA \n\n\n\n\nJuliette Griffie – From Black Box to Biological Insight: Generative AI for Life Science and Microscopy\nDDLS fellow\, The Computational Microscopy for Cell Biology (CMCB) laboratory\, Stockholm University \n\n\n\nThe life sciences are entering a transformative era\, with generative AI emerging as a powerful engine for discovery. This talk will explore how these technologies can move beyond prediction towards interpretability\, while being tailored to the realities of biological research\, where datasets are often small and models must be designed to answer very specific biological questions. \n\n\n\n\nPanel Debate\nModerator – Per Petersson \n\n\n\n\n12:15-13:30 Lunch \n\n\n\n13:30-16:45 Afternoon Session – System Biology \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPetra Ritter – Trustworthy Digital Brain Twins\nProfessor\, Charité University Medicine Berlin \n\n\n\nThis talk explores the integration of mechanistic modeling\, multiscale physiological data\, and artificial intelligence to construct personalized “Digital Brain Twins” for neuroscientific research and clinical applications. It addresses the computational\, methodological\, and ethical challenges in ensuring these virtual replicas remain dynamic\, precise\, and robustly validated across spatial and temporal scales. Ultimately\, the presentation highlights frameworks for building trustworthy in silico models capable of predicting disease progression\, evaluating targeted pharmacological interventions\, and advancing personalized medicine in neurology and neuroscience. \n\n\n\n\nGunnar Cedersund – M4-HEALTH – hybrid mechanistic and machine learning digital twin models as a basis for a new ecosystem for health\nAssociate Professor\, Linköping University \n\n\n\nFocus TBA \n\n\n\n\nHenrik Jörntell – How brain circuitry operation emerges from nested closed loop interactions through the body\nProfessor\, Lund University \n\n\n\nOne of the hottest scientific topics today is how does the brain actually work and\, in the era of artificial intelligence perhaps even more\, what is ‘intelligence’ really? Here we will address these questions to illustrate the path towards arriving at a general conceptualization of the brain circuitry operation that emerges from the fundamental dynamics of neuron interactions\, i.e. from neurophysiological observations. In this ambition\, there is also a need to explain the resulting roles fulfilled by the different structural subsystems of the nervous system. Fundamental differences with current AI systems is one outcome. Consequences relative to the wider literature are; (i) the function of any one neuron alter depending on context; (ii) in this mode of operation predictive neural activity emerges as a trivial by-product without any assumptions of architectural specializations. This underscores the need for integrated neurophysiological work\, as the broader field is still far away from understanding the physiological infrastructure that underlies the emerging computational architecture of the brain. \n\n\n\n\n14:30-15:00 Coffee \n\n\n\nMorten Grunnet – Neuroscience Drug discovery and AI – Opportunities and limitations\nVice President and Head of Neuroscience at Lundbeck & Affiliate Professor at University of Copenhagen \n\n\n\nHow AI and data-driven approaches are currently being integrated into neuroscience drug discovery\, and how these approaches can be combined with mechanistic understanding across different biological scales – from molecular and cellular mechanisms to circuits\, systems and ultimately clinical phenotypes. A perspective on where the main opportunities\, but also the current limitations\, of AI and mechanistic modeling in pharmaceutical research. \n\n\n\n\nEduard Kerkhoven – From pathway maps to predictive models: Human-GEM and human metabolism\nSenior Researcher\, Chalmers University of Technology \n\n\n\nMetabolic pathway maps are familiar\, but they cannot tell you what happens when a gene is lost or a nutrient runs short. Genome-scale metabolic models turn the same biochemistry into something computable and testable against real perturbations. I will introduce Human-GEM\, the community model of human metabolism\, show a few applications across tissues\, organs and disease\, and suggest that models of this kind become more valuable as omics data accumulate\, by giving those measurements a mechanistic structure to be interpreted against. \n\n\n\n\nJeanette Hellgren-Kotaleski – Simulating the Basal Ganglia in Health and Disease using a Biophysically Detailed Approach\nProfessor\, KTH Royal Institute of Technology \n\n\n\nTo understand any part of the brain\, it is necessary to integrate data from the molecular level up to the systems level. For this effort\, data-driven and mechanistic modelling provides an important tool for synthesizing the diverse experimental data into in silico models. Simulation experiments can then generate new predictions which give rise to novel questions. In our lab\, the microcircuit level is one important starting point when bridging biological scales. Our biophysically detailed neuron and network modelling pipeline integrates data on cellular morphologies\, electrophysiology\, synaptic properties\, and also takes transcriptomics data on e.g. ion channels into account. In my talk I will exemplify insights gained when we apply our modelling pipeline to investigate the structural and functional alterations seen in the diseased striatal microcircuit. \n\n\n\n\nPanel Debate\nModerator: Johan Wessberg \n\n\n\n\nConcluding Remarks by the Organizing committee \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanelists \n\n\n\nSiv Andersson\, Professor\, Uppsala University\, Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation \n\n\n\nGunnar Schulte\, Professor\, Karolinska Institutet\, The Swedish Research Council \n\n\n\nPartners \n\n\n\nSciLifeLab & the National Committee for Pharmacology\, Physiology and Neuroscience of the Royal Academy of Sciences \n\n\n\nOrganizing Committee \n\n\n\nFredrik Elinder\, Professor of Molecular Neurobiology\, Electrophysiologist\, Linköping University \n\n\n\nJohan Wessberg\, Professor and Principal Investigator Department of Physiology / Neurophysiology\, Gothenburg University \n\n\n\nPer Petersson\, Professor in the field of Neurophysiology\, Umeå University URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/mechanistic-modelling-in-pharmacology-physiology-and-neuroscience/ LOCATION:Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences\, Lilla Frescativägen 4A\, Stockholm\, 114 18\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/KVA-event-banner-final-1-scaled.png ORGANIZER;CN="SciLifeLab Link%C3%B6ping":MAILTO:linkoping@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20261126T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20261126T130000 DTSTAMP:20260819T123125Z CREATED:20260819T122256Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T123125Z UID:10001873-1795694400-1795698000@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Campus Solna Seminar Series: Javier Escudero DESCRIPTION:Welcome to join the Campus Solna Seminar Series – an initiative to promote the fantastic science ongoing at Campus Solna and hopefully forge more internal communication and collaboration between within Campus Solna.

Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data. \n\n\n\nOpen Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nContact information: NBIS\, SciLifeLab Data Centre – Data Management\, and SciLifeLab Lund.

This webinar will introduce MLflow\, an open-source tool for managing machine learning experiments and models\, with a practical research use case and a demonstration of how to access MLflow through SciLifeLab Serve. \n\n\n\nDate and time: Tuesday 19 January 2027\, 10:00–11:00 CET (Stockholm time)Speakers: Nikita Churikov (SciLifeLab Data Centre) and Mariya Lysenkova Wiklander (Uppsala University) \n\n\n\nRegistration: Please register by 18th January (18:00 CET). Registered participants will receive the Zoom link shortly before the webinar. \n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\nAbstract: \n\n\n\nIn research involving machine learning\, we often train many different models or evaluate multiple sets of parameters. It can quickly become challenging to keep track of the metadata and model artefacts for each model and compare results between different runs. Additionally\, sharing a model with others for inference (predictions) is not always straightforward. \n\n\n\nMLflow is an open-source tool designed to address these challenges. It offers experiment tracking (parameters\, metrics and artefacts)\, a model registry (versioning and stages)\, and model packaging and serving. MLflow is widely used to manage the full lifecycle of models in industry but is less familiar in academia. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we will introduce the basics of MLflow and present a research use case by Mariya Lysenkova Wiklander (Uppsala University). MLflow can be run locally on your own computer or accessed online (for example\, when working in a team). We will also demonstrate how MLflow can be accessed through SciLifeLab Serve\, which is free and openly available to all life science researchers in Sweden. \n\n\n\nThe Tools for AI/ML research in life sciences is an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre aimed at life science researchers who use data science and machine learning methods in their work. The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide introductions to different tools for ML research\, but also to foster discussions around our practices and how they can be improved. We organise in-person workshops and webinars as part of the event series. The events are open to all researchers in Sweden and beyond\, regardless of SciLifeLab affiliation. \n\n\n\nContact: SciLifeLab Data Centre | serve@scilifelab.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/managing-machine-learning-experiments-and-models-for-life-science-with-mlflow/ LOCATION:Online event via Zoom ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/MLFlow-Thumbnail.png ORGANIZER;CN="SciLifeLab Data Centre":MAILTO:datacentre@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20270126T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20270126T170000 DTSTAMP:20261007T083802Z CREATED:20261006T102935Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261007T083802Z UID:10001884-1800954000-1800982800@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:4th Liquid Biopsy Event: Liquid biopsy-based biomarker analysis in basic research and clinical applications DESCRIPTION:The field of liquid biopsy analysis is quickly expanding across several medical and research areas.
