Agentic AI for Life Sciences – Online course (6–7 July)

Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/agentic-ai/

Agentic AI tools go beyond chatbots: they can read files, write and run code, and support multi-step research workflows. This course is aimed at helping life science researchers use these tools in a practical, structured, and reproducible way.

We will cover:

• Foundations of agentic AI and tool ecosystems
• Context engineering for reliable outputs
• Coding agents for data analysis, figures, and presentations
• Building simple interactive data apps from omics data
• RAG, MCP, and connecting agents to external knowledge sources
• Reusable “skills” and workflow automation for research tasks
• Best practices for responsible and reproducible use

Format: online live sessions (2–5 pm CET)

Audience: biologists, bioinformaticians, and data scientists with basic programming knowledge (no prior AI experience required)
