Building AI Agents in Life Sciences

This is the launch event of Triangle Bio·AI: a year-round series of curated, practitioner-first events at the intersection of AI and LS.
Building AI Agents in Life Sciences
About the Event
The Triangle has the third-largest life sciences cluster in the country — Duke, UNC, WakeMed, hundreds of CROs and biotechs, and a growing number of teams putting AI agents into real production workflows. They’ve never had a room built for them. This is the first one.
This is the launch event of Triangle Bio·AI: a year-round series of curated, practitioner-first events at the intersection of AI and life sciences. Free to attend, by design.
What this night is about
Agents are the most over-pitched and under-explained thing in AI right now. This session skips the demos and the hype. You’ll hear from practitioners who have actually built and deployed agentic AI inside life sciences organizations who can tell you what worked, what broke, and what they’d never do again.
What you’ll leave with
- One person you didn’t know before — with a specific reason to follow up
- A clearer read on what agentic AI is actually doing in this market versus what’s still a pitch
- An honest sense of where it breaks, from people who’ve hit those walls
What to Expect
5:30 – 6:00 PM | Arrival and Networking
6:00 – 7 PM | Expert Panel Discussion
A working conversation with people who have actually built and deployed AI agents inside life sciences organizations:
- What it took to stand agents up inside complex organizations
- Where agents have shown value and where they have not
- How teams governed their agents
You’ll leave with concrete, practical examples giving you a clear read on where AI agents are working and not working.
7:00-7:30 PM | Q&A and Connection
