In this session, we will explore foundational AI models in biology, as well as practical protein engineering and design applications supported by real-world examples. We will discuss recent biology breakthroughs and apply that to how you can use LLMs to predict protein structure and function and encode protein data computationally. Attendees will learn techniques for how to use NVIDIA BioNeMo, a generative AI platform for drug discovery, to simplify and accelerate training of models on their own data, ensuring easy and scalable deployment of models for drug discovery applications.
