Life Sciences & AI
Life sciences people, around one table.
Drug discovery. Clinical care. Health data, capital, policy. The useful stuff starts where the disciplines stop agreeing.
- Format
- Supper first. Public meetups too.
- Focus
- Discovery through care
- Co-leads
- Simon Haworth + Kris Krüg
Around the table
Tell us what is actually happening.
Simon Haworth and Kris Krüg invited drug discovery researchers, health analytics leads, clinicians, interoperability architects, venture people, and data-for-good practitioners to supper.
No pitches. No hackathon.
Patient details and sensitive research stay bounded. Same with private business and deal conversations. The public work is what the table can question, learn from, and build on together.
- 01 / The work
What has AI actually changed?
Bring the before and after. Keep the hard parts in.
- 02 / The friction
Where does it help? Where does it get in the way?
Clinicians, patients, researchers, and operators carry different risks.
- 03 / The next move
What should we build or investigate together?
Connections, projects, public work. Whatever earns its way out of the room.
How it started
Supper first.
Simon Haworth and Kris Krüg started with supper. Drug discovery met stubborn biology. Health data met clinical workflow, regulation, capital, and patient agency. Nobody needed to agree. They needed enough trust to say what was actually going on.
On the calendar
The table keeps moving.
One running conversation, each date carrying a different question. Start with the next one or find the table that needs your experience.
From the table
The table, photographed.
Documentary stills from the Collingwood house: the dining table the series started on, then the backyard tent on August 11. Photos by Kris Krüg. Captions stay with the room, not a roster.
From this group
Wild Salmon grew out of this table.
The Wild Salmon proposal grew out of Simon Haworth and Kris Krüg's work with this Life Sciences group. Simon wrote the original white paper; Kris and BC + AI built the living, work-in-progress public companion.
It proposes a path for helping globally experienced AI life sciences founders build their way back to British Columbia.
Pull up a chair
Bring a real question.
If you work across biology, chemistry, biotech, healthcare, drug discovery, health data, or commercialization, pull up a chair.
