SUMMARY:Endpoints AI Day 2026: AI in Biopharma
DESCRIPTION:The question is no longer whether AI can change biopharma. It already is. Pharma giants are reshaping their workforces\, the first AI-designed drugs are making their way through the clinic\, and record money is meeting rising doubt about the payoff. \nAI Day returns in 2026 for the next question: what changes for the people building the future of medicine? \nIt brings together leaders across biopharma\, academia\, the frontier labs and venture capital\, hosted by Endpoints senior biopharma correspondent Andrew Dunn. Take part two ways: an exclusive in-person experience in New York City or a free virtual-only program. \nSpeakers include:\n\nAnthropic Head of Drug Discovery & Development Research Nathan Frey\nRadical Numerics CEO Eric Nguyen\nRecursion CEO Najat Khan\nNew York University professor Kyunghyun Cho\nSchrödinger CEO Ramy Farid\nDimension Capital managing partner and co-founder Zavain Dar\nGenesis Molecular AI CTO Sergey Edunov\n\nAgenda at a Glance\n11:00 AM – 2:00 PM ET: Virtual programming \nJoin us online for a fast-paced editorial briefing hosted by Endpoints journalists. We’ll dig into what AI is actually upending in biopharma\, from stunning progress in designing proteins on the computer to visions of ushering in a new era of personalized medicine. \nAfternoon sessions: Hybrid + exclusive in-person only experience \n3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET: Arrival & welcome drinks \n4:00 PM – 6:00 PM ET: Editorial sessions \n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET: Happy hour & networking \nThe conversation shifts to Manhattan for exclusive\, live editorial sessions that bring together the AI and biopharma worlds. Endpoints’ Andrew Dunn will lead candid conversations with those industries’ most influential voices\, with topics ranging from pharma’s cultural remaking to managing biosecurity concerns to the future role of the human scientist. \nAfternoon programming will be followed by a networking reception with an open bar and heavy hors d’oeuvres. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Endpoints at JPM27
DESCRIPTION:Who wields power in biopharma is changing. \nAt Endpoints at JPM27\, Endpoints News journalists will lead a dialogue on this change — who’s rising\, who’s falling and how the drug business will look very different at the end of the decade. Join us in San Francisco\, or virtually for free\, for a set of exclusive conversations and interviews you won’t get anywhere else. \nMore than any time in the last decade\, the top of the pharmaceutical world is unstable. New and growing biotechs are ascendant. Major pharma players are stagnating — or in decline. The rise of China has just begun\, and the US has no answer yet. Startups and AI companies are in a race against legacy players to own the future of drug development. \nAnd when you need a moment to reflect and talk about what you’ve learned\, the Endpoints Hub will give you a place to step back from the frenzy\, to meet and to connect. Your in person pass gets you access. \nThe Hub is available 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM PST each day. \n\nVirtual programming will run from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM PST each day. \n\nREGISTER» \nHosted by:
