Speakers
Using AI to predict drug effects
Gerard van Westen
A researcher in AI and medicinal chemistry at Leiden University, Gerard van Westen can predict the interaction between candidate drugs and proteins in our bodies. Learn how he uses data from 40 years of medical research to train his models and how he envisions drug discovery in the 21st century.
Optimizing Drug Discovery through Computational Chemistry
Willem Jespers
During his PhD, Willem developed a new algorithm to predict drug binding to target molecules, which quickly led to a spin-off company. He will tell us a bit more about the commercial side of computational drug discovery and how to remain competitive next to big companies.
Aardvark Sensing
Ilan Lewin
Automating soil sensing at large scales. He Will bring his robot so don't miss it!
Let SMB if you'll be there!
Attendance to Science meets Business events is free of charge. However, in order to know how many seats, drinks and snacks we should provide, we would like to know how many people to expect. This is why we kindly request you register for the events if you are joining, and please let us know if you will no longer be able to attend (no hard feelings).
