As models improve & access widens, discovery itself is becoming cheaper.
But prediction alone doesn't create enduring advantage.
As AI moves beyond prediction, the advantage shifts to deployment, experimental feedback, & the systems that reduce the gap between computational design & functional biology.
Beyond Discovery explores what that shift demands.
Discussion Topics
When models become commodities, what becomes defensible?
What actually breaks when AI-generated designs meet biological systems?
Are we measuring the right things, or simply the easiest things to measure?
What infrastructure is still missing to close the loop?
No recycled drug discovery narratives. Just founders, researchers, engineers, & investors working at the frontier, willing to disagree.

Meet the Hosts
Berkeley Gateway Accelerator
Based in Berkeley, California, this deep tech accelerator & venture fund helps founders transforms breakthrough technologies into enduring companies by bringing together exceptional talent, interdisciplinary collaboration, & strategic capital.
Bits in Bio
Connecting the bioeconomy by bringing together innovators working at the intersection of software, AI, & biology. Its global community of more than 12,000 founders, scientists, investors, & operators fosters collaboration across the life sciences ecosystem.
DiagnoBac's
Developing an AI platform for intent-driven biomolecular design that optimizes biomolecules for function in their intended biological context. By integrating machine learning, biophysical constraints, & experimental feedback, we reduce experimental iteration while accelerating the development of biomolecules for diagnostics, therapeutics, & beyond.
Join founders, researchers, engineers, investors, & operators from across the Bay Area for an evening of discussion & networking.
Can't attend in person? The panel discussion will be livestreamed & recorded. Registered attendees will receive viewing instructions before the event.
