About this Event
Want to hear what sector’s most influential #AI and #tech experts have to say about what is currently working, and is not working, when implementing #AI into your drug discovery, development and innovation processes. We will also be having expertly managed workshops (#hackathons) where you came broing real live problems to get advice and feedback to help resolve your tech implementation challenges.
AI is rapidly reshaping emerging biotech in the UK, but the big question is, what works and what currently doesn't work. Machine learning now enables the analysis of large and complex datasets, supporting the discovery of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets and improving the modelling of biological responses. This leads to more precise and better targeted small molecules, biologics and advanced therapies.
UK biotech organisations are also forming deeper partnerships with technology companies to access advanced data analytics and embed AI more effectively into research pipelines. Government backed initiatives are strengthening this progress and accelerating innovation.
AI driven drug repurposing is gaining momentum, helping redirect existing compounds to new indications, reducing development timelines and improving cost efficiency. With these advances accelerating, the UK remains strongly positioned to lead in biologics and advanced therapies both scientifically and commercially.
What else can #AI do for you, and what can't you expect it to do?

Heart of Life Science Innovation at #CreativeDisruption Forum
Each #CreativeDisruption Forum centres on open dialogue, expert insight and interactive discussions, guided by our resident thought leader, Prof. Tony Sedgwick.
Known as the www.ThoughtDisruptor.com, Tony brings extensive experience as a trained pathologist, former Global Head of Clinical Research at Roche AG, and CEO and Chairman across several life science companies. He also draws on his background in psychology and leadership to help participants look at familiar challenges from new angles.
Participants can expect:
• Exchange ideas with peers facing similar strategic and operational issues,
• Gain practical insights from experienced tech experts
• Explore actionable approaches to real world problems
• Strengthen their professional networks across the UK life sciences community.
The Forum provides a trusted environment to discuss challenges openly, share lessons learned, and explore new ways of driving innovation.
We promise that our #CreativeDisruption Forum will be like no other life sciences event or business network you have experienced. You will be walking out of the session inspired, educated and more connected.
