Biotecnika, a leading platform for biotech careers and opportunities, recently hosted an insightful webinar on the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in biological research and How you can use AI tools in your Biological research. The event attracted over 1,000 participants from across the globe, bringing together industry experts to explore how AI-driven technologies are revolutionizing biotechnology, healthcare, and drug discovery.

The webinar opened with an engaging address by Mr. Shekhar Suman, CEO of Biotecnika, who set the stage for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of biotech research and careers. He emphasized how companies are rapidly adopting AI and ML tools to accelerate scientific discoveries, optimize drug development, and enhance precision medicine.

Mr. Suman also highlighted the post-pandemic shift in biotech research, referring to COVID-19 as the “zero mile of modern biotechnology”—a turning point that heightened global awareness and investment in life sciences. He noted that AI-powered innovations are now driving faster, more efficient breakthroughs in genomics, drug design, and clinical diagnostics

The webinar featured a distinguished panel of speakers:

Dr. Pratik Kakade: Pharmaceutical innovator, AI/ML strategist, and business growth accelerator, discussed the fundamental concepts of AI, ML, and deep learning and their specific applications within the healthcare and life sciences sectors. He highlighted the growing market for AI-powered solutions, emphasized the career opportunities in this burgeoning field, and offered guidance on how individuals can enter this rapidly expanding industry.

Mr. Prodyot Banerjee: A bioinformatic scientist at Biotecnika, delved into the transformative impact of AI innovations in healthcare and medicine, with a focus on computer-aided drug design (CADD). He explained how AI is streamlining processes, increasing efficiency, and revolutionizing areas like remote patient monitoring and public health initiatives.

Dr. Elamathi Natarajan: A scientist at Biotecnika, explored the crucial role of AI in the multi-omic analysis of complex disorders. She explained how AI is enabling researchers to gain a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and develop novel therapeutic insights through the integration of genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data.

Mr. Sandip Ghosh: AI engineering manager at IQVIA, brought the discussion to life with real-world examples, case studies, and hands-on demonstrations of AI tools revolutionizing biological research. He provided practical examples of how AI is being used to address challenges in areas such as product quality control, adverse event detection, and rare disease diagnosis, including real-world applications in the healthcare field. He also offered career advice to those interested in entering the AI in the healthcare sector.

The webinar concluded with a Q&A session, where attendees had the opportunity to ask the speakers about the topics discussed. The event was a resounding success, providing valuable information and inspiration to researchers, students, and professionals in the life sciences and technology sectors.

Key Insights from the Webinar:

• AI is a Game Changer: AI is no longer just hype; it’s fundamentally transforming how biological research is conducted. Ai is enabling faster drug discovery, more accurate diagnoses, and more effective personalized treatments. This is leading to breakthroughs at an unprecedented pace. The webinar showcased tangible examples of how AI is being applied today, moving beyond theoretical discussions to real-world applications.
• Data-Driven Insights: AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of complex biological data, including genomic information, medical images, and clinical records, to identify patterns and insights that would be impossible for humans to detect.

• Improved Efficiency and Accuracy: AI is automating many time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks in biological research, freeing up researchers to focus on more strategic and creative work.  AI is not just about speed; it’s also about increasing the accuracy of diagnoses, predictions, and treatments.
