This year I attended the second edition of Generative AI in Life Science (GenLife – https://genlife.dk/) and it was an enriching experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. Held in Copenhagen, the event brought together researchers from different areas of AI applied to the life sciences and provided a fantastic platform for networking, learning and sharing ideas. The programme included a mix of long and short talks from experts in the field, but also had a significant presence of emerging PIs, making the conference a perfect place to discover emerging groups in the field. Here I have collected some highlights of the talks I have enjoyed the most at the conference.
