by Machines and Molecules
Machines and Molecules hosts guests on topics from machine learning as well as bio-chemistry/biotech, and therefore bridges the gap between those worlds. The podcast covers three different categories - Knowledge, Solution and Network. Knowledge offers tutorials regarding fundamental concepts within the ML and biochem realm, Solution spotlights companies and startups implementing AI in life sciences or building AI infrastructure, and Network deep dives into investment, politics, and industry networks within this sector. The podcast is hosted by Exazyme, the AI powered protein design platform.
