Whether you’re in drug discovery, materials science, or academic research, this session will show you how to merge human expertise with AI precision to stay at the forefront of innovation. Don’t miss the chance to see the future of science in action.
Biopharma organizations have long navigated the "laboratory compromise"—the physical and operational divide between wet-lab experimentation and dry-lab computational modeling. This structural separation creates data silos that slow research timelines and limit the impact of computational tools. Today, the industry is transitioning to a model where scientific data acts not just as a laboratory record, but as an active foundation for closed-loop discovery. Addressing this division requires a fundamentally different approach to both technology and organizational collaboration.Google’s Agentic R&D Cloud meets this challenge through a cross-functional, vertically integrated R&D stack that was built with the research operations of Google DeepMind and Google Research in mind. Google’s Agentic R&D Cloud marries emerging specialized models and agents (e.g. AlphaFold, AlphaGenome, AlphaEvolve, and Co-Scientist) with the enterprise infrastructure and scale needed to support advanced scientific computing without the latency, integration gaps, data silos, or errors common in piecemeal systems.
Grounded in real-world deployments and collaborative success stories with leading biopharma partners, this session will explore how Google’s unified R&D stack today is accelerating R&D. Attendees will walk away with a practical agentic blueprint showing how a co-designed R&D stack scales laboratory hypotheses into validated biological discoveries.
