CPIC 2026 | Future-Driven Intelligent R&D–AI for Life Sciences and Drug Discovery Session Agenda Released
May 27,2026
AI for Science is reshaping the fundamental logic of drug discovery. From antibody design to wet-lab validation, from algorithm-driven approaches to data-driven closed loops, AI is no longer merely an add-on tool but a core factor determining R&D efficiency and success.
The full agenda of the Future-Driven Intelligent R&D–AI for Life Sciences and Drug Discovery Session, co-organized by MegaRobo, is officially released today.
This session brings together pioneering practitioners in AI-driven pharmaceutical R&D to conduct in-depth discussions on key topics including generative large models empowering antibody design, wet-lab data closed loops, growth paths for AI-native biotechs, and organizational paradigm shifts of AI for Science.
No empty theories, only real-world practices.
Join AI-pharma trailblazers at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), July 22–24, to explore the new algorithm-driven paradigm of drug discovery.
