Automating life science & biomedical tasks with LLMs and beyond: practical guide\n\n\n\nHeld by: Ola Spjuth (UU\, SciLifeLab AI Lead) and AI data engineers  Mahbub Ul Alam and Johan Alfredéen at SciLifeLab Data Centre \n\n\n\nWhere and when: November 13\, 2025 at 13:30-16:00\, room K1 (36 seats) UKK  \n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\nDescription:  We will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can help make your research more productive. You will see how AI agents can help youcreate new\, testable ideas. We will introduce modern agentic AI tools that can automatically handle many research tasks. These tools use powerful large language models (LLMs) to plan and perform complex jobs. You will learn how to apply them using several available cloudplatforms and open-source tools. The main goal is to show you how to use AI to speed up your work and discover new research questions. \n\n\n\nWorkshop participants can then choose from a number of hands-on exercises that they can complete on their own laptops. We will be available to help and answer questions.    \n\n\n\nWorkshop 2. Open Source Software for Research – Sharing Code and Software the Right Way\n\n\n\nHeld by: Chris Erdmann (Head of Open Science\, SciLifeLab) and coordinators Alma Nilsson\, Suné Joubert and Parul Tewatia SciLifeLab Data Centre \n\n\n\nWhere and when: November 13\, 2025 at 13:30-16:00\, room K2 (20 seats) UKK \n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\nDescription: Research depends on software\, but without open and FAIR practices\, reproducibility and reuse are limited. Open-source software means code that is not only available but also licensed for free use\, modification\, and sharing. This workshop provides an overview of open science policy related to software\, and introduces the Open Science Software Checklist \, showing how to apply it to make research code adhere to open science policies and guidelines. Speaker at the workshop include Malin Sandström from the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) and researchers from the SciLifeLab research community\, as well as coordinators and data stewards from SciLifeLab Data Centre. \n\n\n\nParticipants should bring their own laptop and have a GitHub account. Having Visual Studio Code installed and connected to one’s GitHub is helpful but not required. \n\n\n\nWorkshop 3. Development of a Mastery Rubric for Data Driven Life Scientists\n\n\n\nHeld by: Jill Jaworski\, SciLifeLab Training Hub \n\n\n\nWhere and when: November 13\, 2025 at 13:30-16:00\, room K3+K4 (90 seats) UKK \n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\nDescription: What is a data-driven life scientist? What knowledge\, skills and abilities do these individuals have and what core competencies do they share within their respective expertise-areas? What distinct characteristics set them apart from other life-scientists? \n\n\n\nIn this interactive workshop\, through facilitated discussions and collaborative exercises\, we will come to a shared understanding of what is required in this profession. We will create a Rubric that outlines the different knowledge\, skill and ability areas of data-driven life scientists and map these competencies against beginner\, intermediate and mastery levels. \n\n\n\nIn this way\, we will help define the scope of data-driven life scientists and demonstrate what is needed for them to progress along learning paths from beginners to masters in their subject areas\, thereby helping them understand how and where they can develop professionally. Amid quickly changing scientific landscapes\, complex and pressing real-world issues\, and growing mistrust in science\, it is important to create a shared framework for what we mean when we describe data-driven life scientists\, which will help bring credibility to the profession\, trust\, and clear guidance on how to professionally develop. \n\n\n\nParticipants will need to bring a laptop or tablet to this workshop to be able to fully participate.

SUMMARY:Rapid traversal of vast chemical space using machine learning-guided docking screens to accelerate drug discovery
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Israel Cabeza de Vaca\, Uppsala university (Jens Carlsson group). \n\n\n\nNBIS and SciLifeLab Data Centre arrange an open SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and applications in the Life Science community. 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\nAbstractThe rapid expansion of make-on-demand chemical libraries now offers access to tens of billions of synthetically accessible molecules\, creating unprecedented opportunities for structure-based drug discovery. However\, screening such ultra-large libraries remains computationally prohibitive\, even with state-of-the-art docking methods.In this presentation\, I will describe a hybrid virtual screening strategy that integrates molecular docking with machine learning to efficiently navigate chemical space at the billion-compound scale. The workflow involves docking approximately one million compounds to a target protein and training a classification model to recognize high-scoring molecules. Using conformal prediction\, the model guides compound selection from multi-billion-scale libraries\, drastically reducing the number of molecules requiring explicit docking.Among several algorithms evaluated\, CatBoost provided the best balance between accuracy and computational efficiency\, enabling large-scale applications. When applied to a 3.5-billion-compound library\, this approach reduced the computational cost of virtual screening by over three orders of magnitude. Experimental validation identified novel ligands for multiple G protein–coupled receptors\, including compounds exhibiting designed multi-target activity.These results demonstrate how combining AI-based prediction with physics-based docking can make ultra-large-scale virtual screening a practical and powerful tool for modern drug discovery. \n\n\n\nContactFor questions\, contact bengt.sennblad@scilifelab.se \n\n\n\nzoom link

SUMMARY:FAIR play: Mastering Metadata to Empower Life Scientists
DESCRIPTION:Unlock the potential of your research by mastering meta(data) management in and the FAIR Data Principles—Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, and Reusable. This session offers practical guidance tailored for life scientists\, focusing on best practices to organise and share your data effectively. The talk will focus on how good metadata practices can enhance collaboration\, ensure reproducibility\, and align your work with Open Science principles\, ultimately increasing the impact of your research. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Parul Tewatia\, PhD\, project coordinator (FAIR metadata and semantic technologies)\, SciLifeLab Data Centre \n\n\n\nRecording: https://youtu.be/mc4BOOoLTMASlides: https://doi.org/10.17044/scilifelab.28615511 \n\n\n\nMore information\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\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\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\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.
