Magnet Venture
Over 20 years' experience in Synthetic Biology, at the intersection of computing and bio-engineering and 30+ years trying to make computers useful to biologists. Starting with early work on the human genome project, Shipping 8 molecules to metric tonne/year scale with pioneers in the SynBio world, and overseeing teams that wrote millions of lines of code to organize data, robots and humans, I feel like computing might almost be starting to make a positive contribution to biology... At Magnet, looking to apply AI/ML to relevant problems that can advance development of biological products."

Applied AI for Biomanufacturing: Challenges, Opportunities, and Real-World Impact
Artificial intelligence is already reshaping biomanufacturing, challenging long-standing practices and driving new levels of productivity. But what does this transformation look like in practice? This session offers a candid, hype-free discussion on the real-world impact of AI in biomanufacturing today. Industry experts will explore how AI is accelerating production, reducing costs, and enabling rapid scale-up—while also addressing the technical, organizational, and regulatory barriers that remain. Through real case studies and practical insights, we’ll examine what’s working, what isn’t, and what lessons can be drawn from current deployments. Join us for an honest look at the challenges, opportunities, and future direction of applied AI in the bioeconomy.
