Wilson Sonsini is pleased to sponsor INTRO Life Sciences.
Join us for a conversation with Sarah Benson-Konforty, MD, a serial entrepreneur and physician turned investor and AI evangelist.
Sarah will share her insights on the fundamental shift in drug discovery as biology becomes computable and AI emerges as a new operating system for medicine. She will explore how machine learning is transforming target discovery, molecular design, and clinical strategy—moving the field beyond trial-and-error toward systems-level reasoning. Drawing on real-world case studies, it separates genuine breakthroughs from hype and highlights where AI is creating durable scientific and economic advantage. We will also learn what AI-native biotech companies will look like—and why they will outperform traditional models.
