Additional Speaker Details

Using publicly available information we constructed an analysis to help you get a feel for this speaker before deciding to attend their session.

James Zou is a Stanford associate professor of biomedical data science who leads the Stanford AI for Science Lab, where his work on AI agents — from the Virtual Lab that designed and experimentally validated new SARS-CoV-2 nanobodies to TextGrad, both published in Nature — shows agentic AI producing real, lab-validated biomedical results rather than speculation. His session offers a ground-truth look at what AI scientists can actually do today, grounded in production work including FDA-cleared models and tools used by millions of developers.
