So… what is TechBio? An AI x Bio evening in Barcelona
Thu, 29 Oct 2026, 18:30
Barcelona, Spain
Free
Originally organized by Matteo Tardelli. Whether you're deep in a PhD, halfway through a postdoc, or already in industry, you've probably noticed that biology and AI are starting to get a little… entangled. So… what is TechBio? is one of the first AI x Bio gatherings in Barcelona, for scientists (MSc, PhD, postdocs, academia or industry) who are curious what this world actually looks like from the inside. A couple of people who made the jump will share how they moved into TechBio: what surprised them, what transferred, and what they wish they'd known earlier. Then we open it up, and keep talking over drinks. No coding required. Curiosity is enough. Thursday, 29 October Doors: 18:00 Panel: 18:30 Wrap-up: 20:00 Generously hosted by Cosymbio Labs. Vibe: Relaxed, honest, zero buzzwords (we'll try). Flow: Welcome and intro to the panellists Moderated conversation: from bench to TechBio Your questions Networking with snacks and drinks Panel Lorena Roldán Martín, PhD is a Senior Scientist in Discovery AI at AstraZeneca, applying AI and computational modelling to protein engineering, enzyme design, and drug discovery. Her work bridges computational biology research and therapeutic innovation. Matteo Tardelli, PhD is a Scientific Project Lead at Turbine, working at the intersection of AI, computational biology, and drug discovery. With experience across academia and biotech, he is also the author of Beyond Academia, helping PhDs navigate careers beyond research. Dr. Sergi Rodà Llordés is Director of Protein Engineering at Nostrum Biodiscovery, where he combines AI-driven protein design with physics-based methods to advance drug discovery and green chemistry. Spots are limited, so request yours early. See you there, Matteo, Vale, Eelco and the Cosymbio Labs team – Venue: Barcelona, Spain, Barcelona, Catalunya, ES. Registration is handled by the original organizer. Original event and organizer: https://luma.com/fzsl27z0
