Fine-Tuning Foundation Models in Biology

Join EPPIC Global and Strand Life Sciences for an engaging evening of networking, delicious food, and stimulating discussions at MBC BioLabs in San Carlos! 🌐

Event Highlights:

• Panel Discussion:
  Explore the adaptation of foundation models in biological applications and discover how they can be fine-tuned for use in scientific and clinical settings. The discussion will explore how foundation models are being adapted for biological applications, what it takes to make them useful in real scientific and clinical settings, and where fine-tuning can have the biggest impact across genomics, variant interpretation, diagnostics, precision medicine, and drug discovery. 🎤

• Q&A Session:
  Get your questions answered in an interactive audience Q&A after the discussion!
