AIBIO-UK
A community-building project supporting AI in the Biosciences
Artificial Intelligence in the Biosciences Network
We are a BBSRC-funded network to support and enhance engagement between the Bioscience and AI communities in the UK. The network will support community events, funding of pilot projects and creation of resources for supporting use of AI in the biosciences.
We are, first and foremost, a community network. We have a Management Group to guide and help shape the network; an external Steering Group with representatives from academia, industry, and funding bodies which meets once per year and provides oversight; and a set of three Working Groups with specific focusses.
