Prof. Santos was co-organizer of the AI‑Driven Nanoparticle Design for Drug Delivery workshop, Feb 2-5, at the Lorentz Center
➡️ Four days filled with deep discussions, science, ideas, and truly interdisciplinary collaboration, from foundational concepts to future road‑mapping.
▶️ We had an exceptional scientific program that covered everything from AI‑facilitated nanomedicine translation, societal adoption, structure–NP assembly prediction, AI foundation models, ethics, environmental perspectives, and clinical translation. Highlights included keynotes and talks from world‑class experts in these fields with an amazing, proactive and enthusiastic audience, and seeing many old friends again.
▶️ Our group discussions dove into some of the most pressing scientific and societal questions in AI‑enabled nanomedicine, including the interpretability–performance trade‑off, experimental error in public data, barriers to trust, ethical implications, standardization, and whether AI can realistically bridge the clinical translation gap, and much more.
▶️ What stood out the most these last days was the energy and the will in the room:
🔬 researchers, clinicians, and engineers challenging assumptions
🤖 AI specialists unpacking model behavior and limitations
🧪 nanomedicine experts bringing real‑world complexity
⚖️ ethicists and regulatory scientists grounding innovation in responsibility.
A huge thank‑you to all the organizers, to Lorentz Center, sponsors, all the outstanding speakers, for curating such a scientifically rich and forward‑looking event, and also to all participants (+50) for pushing boundaries and questioning and discussing what AI‑powered nanomedicine can become.
Also, very happy and proud to see our group active participation in this event.
➡️ The momentum built this week promises impactful collaborations, new frameworks for trustworthy AI, and meaningful progress toward clinically relevant nanoparticle design.🌟
