Bangalore, India – 15/04/2025, 2025 – Biotecnika, India's leading biological science education platform, has successfully hosted a powerful and future webinar entitled “Top 15 Powerful AI ML Tools All Biologists Need to Know for Success.””. The live sessions attracted a passionate audience of researchers, educators and students. All of this we want to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can revolutionize biological research and healthcare innovations.
Bridging the gap between data science and life science, the webinar unraveled the transformative role of AI/ml in deciphering the human genome, predicting disease outbreak, and personalized treatment strategies, which are key keys in the future of precision medicine.
Expert Speakers and their Insights
Dr. NiloferAI and ML applications experts in biology investigated how these technologies are transforming the fields of biology. She discussed key tools such as Python/R/R Basics, Jupyter Notebooks, Biopython, Galaxy, Deepvariant (for genomics), and Bioconductor (OMICS). Dr. Nilofer also demonstrated the process of RNA-seq data analysis using Python code.
Dr. Ishan Pandileading bioinformatics researchers presented advanced AI/ML tools for biomedical applications. He discussed tools such as Alphafold, Cellprofiler, Knime, Tensorflow, Pytorch, Streamlit, Automl. Dr. Pandey walked through case studies on the use of Deepvariant for precision medicine and provided a live demonstration of how AlphaFold helped identify targets along with a Knight Pipeline for image analysis using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).
Capaldi MarampalaiProfessional Development Experts at Tech and Life Sciences Industries provided insights to build an outstanding career with AI/ML skills. He discussed tools such as Github, Kaggle, and LinkedIn Learning, and how biologists can use these platforms to showcase projects and expand their careers. Capaldi also led a discussion on how to stay relevant in areas increasingly shaped by automation, providing advice on balancing domain expertise and innovation.
Important highlights from the webinar
- Reshaping AI Biological Research:
AI and ML redefine how biological systems are researched, facilitating rapid drug discovery, disease prediction, and detailed genomic analysis. These tools allow researchers to circumvent traditional limitations and carry out data-driven research with accuracy and speed. - Accessibility and democratization:
Using a user-friendly platform means that even researchers without a strong programming background can perform advanced biological data analysis. This democratization empowers a new generation of scientists to innovate without barriers.
- High Demand Career Skills:
Future biotechnology experts must be proficient in AI applications, data analysis and computational biology. In addition to technical skills, the webinar emphasized the value of communication, collaboration and critical thinking in a research environment. - Interdisciplinary collaboration:
The speaker emphasized the increasing importance of field-wide collaboration to develop holistic solutions in biomedical research and environmental biotechnology. - Ethics and Reproducibility:
As AI systems become more complex, issues relating to data quality, bias, reproducibility, and ethical use of technology must be actively addressed. Continuous learning and responsible innovation are important.
