SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:SciFM27 Conference
DESCRIPTION:#SciFM27 will focus on how foundation models and agentic AI are opening a new frontier for scientific innovation\, one that demands capabilities beyond those built for general-purpose language and consumer applications. Scientific AI must reason across equations\, code\, simulations\, and experimental and observational data\; integrate multiple modalities\; interact with specialized tools\, instruments\, and computational systems\; and carry out complex\, multi-step workflows with high reliability. The frontier is shifting from prediction to agency: systems that plan and execute multi-step workflows\, propose and test hypotheses\, and close the loop between models\, computation\, experiments\, and real-world data.\n \n#SciFM27 brings together leading companies with scientists\, engineers\, clinicians\, national laboratories\, and government to explore advances in scientific foundation models\, scientific reasoning and agentic systems\, AI-enabled experimentation and therapeutic discovery\, and the computational infrastructure needed to build and deploy these systems at scale.\n\nOne of the main themes of #SciFM27 will be on therapeutics. Bringing a new medicine from discovery through clinical development and regulatory approval takes 10 to 15 years and costs more than $2 billion\, while roughly 90 percent of drug candidates entering clinical trials fail to gain approval\, a rate unchanged in 40 years. Recent advances have created opportunities to connect knowledge and data across physics\, chemistry\, biology\, and medicine\; generate and evaluate new therapeutic hypotheses\; integrate computational and experimental workflows\; and improve how potential medicines are designed and tested.
