On 25th June, GetSeen Ventures hosted an exciting event exploring the transformative potential of Generative AI in Life Sciences in partnership with Bruntwood SciTech, Kilburn & Strode, and Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst. The day offered invaluable GenAI insights from industry experts and investors, whilst providing a platform for aspiring entrepreneurs and innovative founders to pitch their AI/GenAI startups to a panel of VC investors. The event commenced with an outstanding AI + Life Sciences IP masterclass, delivered by Alexander Korenberg and Sarah Lau from Kilburn & Strode, tailored for aspiring entrepreneurs and early-stage startup founders attended by 25 aspiring entrepreneurs and life sciences founders. Key Highlights from the Fireside Chat: The Fireside chat was moderated by Aline Charpentier (Bruntwood SciTech) with Marco Delise, PhD (Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst), Isabel Zhang (Deeptech Investor, HCVC), Sonal Pai (Digital Biology/Biotech Investor, First Spark Ventures), and Dr Raminderpal Singh (Life Sciences Domain Expert) as panellists. The panel discussed transformative potential of LLMs and the AI adoption in Biotech SMEs to help accelerate research and successful commercialisation in the life sciences sector. Isabel Zhang discussed how deeptech investors evaluate the evolving demographics of AI/GenAI startups and emphasising the importance of large and appropriate datasets for commercial use cases, access to large amounts of compute power and the potential of GenAI in accelerating the life sciences x robotics segment. Sonal Pai suggested looking beyond the AI x drug discovery use cases and explored the potential utilisation of GenAI in accelerating clinical trials management and personalised pharma marketing use cases. Marco Delise, PhD stressed that aspiring entrepreneurs should have a good data strategy to amass large and well governed data sets, robust business and commercial models when planning GenAI ventures in the life sciences sector. All panellists strongly emphasised that founders should aim to have a balanced mix of AI engineers, bioinformaticians, and life scientists trained to drive commercial success in this sector and challenges of talent for early stage startups with domain and generative ai experience. We were also delighted to hear pitches from six outstanding founders in AI/GenAI life sciences, covering areas such as drug discovery, bioprocess development, rapid diagnostics, and the creative (science communication space. Our gratitude extends to Chris Bakal, Matt De Vries, Alex Sheppard, Louis Brookstein, Alex Ramirez, Rory Ryan, and Ashkan Dabbagh. A heartfelt thank you to our panellists, startup founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, angel investors, and our event partners: Bruntwood SciTech, Kilburn & Strode, and Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst for making this event a resounding success!

Last week, GetSeen Ventures launched its inaugural GenAI bootcamp, welcoming student developers from top UK universities. The program aims to empower UK students with the skills to build real-world GenAI applications. The bootcamp kicked off with an insightful session on "Factuality and Plausibility with Language Models" led by Moy Yuan, a PhD researcher at the University of Cambridge. Yuan began with an introduction to Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs) and then delved into the crucial concepts of factuality and plausibility, highlighting their importance in developing reliable and trustworthy AI systems. Key insights from Moy's talk included: - Factuality vs. Plausibility: Models excelling in factual accuracy don't always perform well in plausibility. AI practitioners face the challenge of balancing these aspects or using specialised models for each. - RAG models' limitations: While popular for integrating external knowledge, Retrieval-Augmented Generation models often miss critical information, especially with complex inputs. This can lead to plausible but potentially inaccurate outputs. - Practical tip: Adopt an agentic workflow approach for efficient LLM use, even without high-end GPUs. This involves using LLMs as collaborative agents, breaking tasks into manageable components, and leveraging different models' strengths. - Future of NLP & LLMs: Balancing factuality and plausibility remains a key challenge. Ongoing innovation is crucial to address these complexities and create more reliable AI systems. We would like to extend our gratitude to Moy Yuan for taking out time from his busy schedule and give this amazing webinar. These insights are crucial for developing reliable, trustworthy AI systems. Excited to see how our student developers will apply this knowledge! #GenAI #GetSeenVentures #GenAIbootcamp

Last Friday, GetSeen Ventures had pleasure to moderate the panel discussion focused on Pioneering Precision: AI and ML Shaping the Future of Drug Discovery and Formulation at the "AI, ML, and Beyond: Charting the Future of Healthcare Technology and Innovation in Life Sciences” event, as a part of the London Tech Week at The Francis Crick Institute. Key insights from the panel members: 🔍 Embracing a Problem-Centric Approach: To harness AI's benefits, we must focus on identifying and addressing the right issues. Once the problem is clear, we can select the appropriate AI/ML model to tackle it effectively. 🔄 Turning Potential into Tangible Results: AI and ML capabilities mean little without proving their outputs are useful. The real challenge is extracting meaningful insights from AI data and converting them into practical healthcare solutions, while navigating the regulatory landscape and building trust. 👩🔬 Importance of Human Expertise: While AI offers significant advantages, it's crucial to have experts who understand both AI and biology—a rare but essential combination for driving real advancements. 📊 Necessity for More Clinical Data: More clinical data is needed to evaluate AI's impact on drug discovery, as current statistics are skewed towards larger companies. 🤝 Critical Role of Top-Down Buy-In and Operational Advocates: Support from top leadership and operational-level advocates is vital for effective change management and AI adoption in medium and large companies. 🎯 Prioritising Impact Over Cost Reduction: Instead of just using AI to cut time and costs, companies should aim to make a significant impact and differentiate by enhancing drug efficacy and achieving higher accuracy. Thanks a lot to all the panellists (Lindsay Edwards, Nelli Morgulchik, Kristina Ulicna, PhD, Rory Ryan, Peter Harries, Meri Beckwith, Andrew Welchman, Shahid Bobat and Natalie Pankova, PhD) for sharing their experiences and giving these valuable insights to all the participants. Extremely grateful to Andrea Balukova, Diana Drago-Garcia, Crick Science Entrepreneur Network (CSEN), Spark Meetup and their collaborators/co-hosts, ZINC, and Global Tech Advocates HealthTech for extending the invitation to moderate the panel and making this wonderful event possible!
