A CEO who writes poems about destroying pharma. A life sciences meetup in the British Properties. And a conference surveillance system built with Claude Code.
Simon Haworth — CEO of Intellanex and lead of the Vancouver AI Life Sciences group — takes the mic at Vancouver AI May 2026 with a five-stanza call-and-response poem about data security, creative plagiarism, and using AI to upend the pharmaceutical industry.
But behind the poems is real work: molecular data analysis, drug discovery, and an AI-powered system that tracks where industry leaders will be presenting papers so Simon can fly there and connect. Doctors, VCs, health authority reps, and data nerds — all meeting at his home with casserole and creativity.
Featuring:
• Life Sciences group — doctors, VCs, molecular data folks, health authorities
• Call-and-response poem: five stanzas on AI, pharma & regulation
• Claude Code automation: conference tracking & industry intelligence
• Intellanex — AI-powered drug discovery & molecular analysis
• Global & local mission: connecting Vancouver to Cambridge, San Francisco, Zurich
