Co-creating with Agentic AI in Bioimaging and Life Sciences
November 10 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm CET
Agentic AI and foundation models are creating new possibilities for how we work with bioimaging, biodata and preclinical research.
As these tools become part of scientific workflows, an important question is not simply what AI can automate, but how people and AI can work together effectively.
Together, we will look at where agentic tools are already creating value, where human expertise remains essential, and how we can shape useful and trustworthy ways of working with these technologies.
Who is the workshop for?
This workshop brings together researchers, imaging facilities, software specialists and industry from across the life sciences to explore these questions through practical experiences and shared discussion.
