Designing AI-Ready Labs: From Data Chaos to Intelligence
Is your lab’s data scattered across notebooks, spreadsheets, and machines, making it nearly impossible to leverage the latest AI tools? You’re not alone. Designing AI-Ready Labs: From Data Chaos to Intelligence is a workshop specifically designed to address this challenge. On July 29th (11:30 am–1:30 pm) in Toronto, join Guru Singh, the CEO of Scispot, to learn how to transform messy lab data into structured, AI-ready formats that drive discovery. This session, which is supported by OBIO® - is tailored for biotech startups and academic labs looking to future-proof their data strategy and turn chaos into a competitive advantage.
What You’ll Learn
In this hands-on session, we’ll cover how to:
Structure your lab data – Transform chaotic records into a clean, searchable database using tools like Labsheets® and ontology-based standards for naming and categorization.
Automate data pipelines – Connect your instruments, apps, and databases using platforms such as Scispot’s GLUE toolkit, KNIME Analytics, or Apache NiFi to eliminate manual data wrangling and errors.
Build scientific knowledge graphs – Map relationships between experiments, samples, and results using graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, TerminusDB) to capture context and gain deeper insights from your research data.
Prepare for AI – Implement vector databases and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques to make your lab’s data AI-ready, so you can deploy machine learning models or AI assistants that truly understand your datasets.
Learn how to setup infrastructure to integrate AI into your lab – Get actionable insights and practical steps you can implement immediately.
Key Takeaways
By the end of this workshop, you will have:
AI-ready data roadmap – A clear game plan to turn your lab’s disorganized data into an organized, machine-friendly format.
Greater efficiency – Proven strategies to save time by automating repetitive data tasks and reducing human error in data management.
Deeper insights – An understanding of how knowledge graphs and ontologies can reveal hidden patterns and connections in your lab’s information.
Future-proofing skills – Confidence to integrate AI technologies (like machine learning and LLMs) into your workflows using cutting-edge tools for data storage and retrieval.
Why Attend?
Learn from an expert: Get direct guidance from Scispot’s CEO, who has helped numerous labs go digital and become AI-ready. You’ll gain insights from real success stories and avoid common pitfalls.
Hands-on and practical: This isn’t dry theory. Expect live demos and real-world examples of the tools in action, so you can immediately see how these approaches apply to your lab.
Connect with peers: Meet fellow biotech innovators and academic researchers who are facing similar data challenges. Share ideas, spark collaborations, and grow your support network.
Stay ahead of the curve: AI in biotech is moving fast – this workshop helps you stay on the cutting edge. Position your lab to leverage AI breakthroughs now rather than playing catch-up later.
Enjoy complimentary pizza and networking during the session.
