Episode description

Bowen Liu, PhD, investing partner, and Surya Ganguli, PhD, venture partner, join Vijay Pande, PhD, general partner of a16z Bio + Health.

Together, they detail different methods through which AI could assist drug development, the opportunity for AI to flag new targets and compounds for scientists to investigate, and the science fiction-sounding notion of developing a foundation model that untangles biology.

This is an in-depth conversation from three AI experts and biologists, so we’ll also publish the transcript alongside the episode on our website if you want to follow along.
