AI is changing biotech forever. Frontier Biotech 2.0: Five Tables will map AI in drug discovery and development across five stages; targets, molecules, labs, trials, patients. Each table is chaired by a practitioner who has deep knowledge and expertise in this area.
The format is designed for genuine exchange of insights, connections and bold ideas. We will close the night with a synthesis panel with all roundtable chairs to share learnings from their table. Six showcase startups across the stack run demos throughout, alongside an opening workshop and themed networking.
Join us to share and hear what the next 10 years in biotech might look like.

In partnership with London Longevity Network

London Longevity Network is an innovation platform that connects builders, scientists, investors, and innovators, all united by a shared commitment to advancing human healthy lifespan. Breakthroughs in longevity biotech are happening across labs, clinics, and startups, but progress is often siloed. We exist to change that.
Our big-picture goal is to create a global hub for longevity innovation, where bold ideas, world-class talent, and forward-thinking capital come together to make longer and healthier lives possible for everyone.
Our Thursday Gatherings are for you to make serendipitous connections and make things happen!
There will be meaningful networking opportunities throughout the night, accompanied by a selection of refreshments and activities:
Fun Zone
Get to know your fellow change-makers in a fun, interactive, and exciting way!
Take a quick break from changing the world and recharge by pinning your hometown on our giant map.
Conversation Corner
Looking to connect beyond the name tags?
Drop into our relaxed Conversation Corner, a cosy space where founders, ecosystem builders, and global thinkers come together to share stories, swap lessons, and innovate. Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and jump into the discussion.
We're excited to welcome a brilliant lineup of startups.

Five concurrent roundtables, each chaired by a domain practitioner, each with one driving question. The five chairs close the night on the main stage with a synthesis of what their tables figured out.
Roundtable rooms:
1. Targets — What should we be drugging that we aren’t? Foundation models for biology, perturbation atlases, and emerging target classes (condensates, mislocalisation, RNA).
2. Molecules — Has generative design actually compressed timelines, or moved the bottleneck? Generative chemistry, antibody/protein design, AlphaFold 3 / Chai-1 / Boltz in production.
3. Labs — Can we take humans out of the experimental loop? Self-driving labs, autonomous experimentation, LLM agents planning experiments.
4. Trials — Can AI fix the bottleneck, or just dress up the same broken process? Synthetic control arms, AI-driven recruitment, FDA AI guidance, MHRA AI Airlock.
5. Patients — Can we measure lifespan well enough to run trials on it? Ageing clocks, digital biomarkers, real-world evidence, longevity endpoints.
Reflections on the evening.
