Democratizing Target discovery and validation through personalized learning journeys
Bioinformatics + In Silico R&D
Breakthroughs in drug discovery depend on bioinformatics and in silico R&ED. Understanding the conclusions and harnessingthem in target discovery and validation rely on digital literacy, often overlooked yet pivotal. Our session will share insights, struggles, and solutions from our journey to create personalized learning journeys in bioinformatics and in silico R&ED within the line of business, integrating digital advancements into the everyday practice of R&ED, locally and globally. The goal is to prepare everyone for genAI employability, harvest digital skills to democratize understanding of bioinformatics and in silico R&ED within the line of business, and seamlessly integrate these practices within a global setting.

Creating a Quantum Application Strategy to Accelerate Research
Quantum Integration
I will explore the critical elements of developing a robust strategy that leverages the power of quantum computing to drive the use of quantum applications in research innovation. This strategy will be centered around identifying compelling use cases where quantum computing can make a significant impact, integrating artificial intelligence to enhance quantum solutions, and fostering a skilled workforce adept in both quantum and AI technologies. I will also emphasize the importance of aligning these efforts with organizational goals to create tangible value. Through real-world examples and a practical roadmap, I aim to demonstrate how a well-crafted quantum application strategy can transform research processes and outcomes, ultimately delivering substantial value to both academic and industrial endeavors.
