Cell Meets Code: At the Intersection of Life Sciences, AI, and Innovation
Cooley and SVB invite you to a conversation at the forefront of human health - where AI meets life sciences, and collaboration fuels innovation.
Join leaders from Microsoft, Menlo Ventures, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center as we explore how cross-disciplinary partnerships are unlocking insights from complex biological data and reshaping the future of medicine.
As we confront challenges like cancer, the opportunity lies in breaking down silos - designing tools and systems that can truly change lives.
Expect a lively, open discussion that challenges assumptions, sparks new thinking, and explores the human impact of intelligent systems - from the lab bench to the clinic.
