The leadership development programme for leaders in the Life Sciences

Best Practice AI for Life Sciences Ready to separate the genuine AI signal from the hype? Join industry visionaries at the Wellcome Genome Campus in Hinxton, Cambridge, on 13 July for the Creative Disruption Forum. This interactive event targets what actually works—and what doesn't—when deploying machine learning across biotech and drug discovery. Under strict Chatham House Rules, morning keynote panels transition into hands-on afternoon hackathons where you can workshop real-world tech implementation challenges with peers. If you are a biotech founder, R&D leader, or life sciences investor eager to master practical AI adoption, secure your place today. Let’s disrupt together.

Whether you're new to the field or looking to refine your skills, this 3-day hands-on training course ensures you're equipped to excel in an evolving industry. Featuring cutting-edge VR training supported by RESILIENCE, this course offers industry-relevant insights and real-world skills to advance your biotech career. The program includes both lectures and hands-on experience, covering the setup, steam sterilization in place (SIP), inoculation, monitoring, harvest, and SIP of a complete 30L yeast fermentation process.

To meet this need, Blanchard Lab engineers multicellular, stem cell–derived 3D human brain tissues that model key aspects of neurodegeneration in a physiologically relevant human context. They use these platforms to dissect disease mechanisms, identify therapeutic vulnerabilities, and accelerate translational discovery.

The UK government has identified engineering biology as a strategic priority within its Modern Industrial Strategy, recognising its potential to transform sectors from agriculture and food through to chemicals, materials, medicine and the environment. In recent years, there has been substantial investment through the National Engineering Biology Programme and UKRI’s mission‑led initiatives.

This event, delivered by Innovate UK Business Connect, is the final stage of a two-stage engagement process for a Contracts for Innovation competition and follows two previous online workshops.
