Closing the Loop SF 2026: A gathering on the AI-native lab – Session Recordings

Event Title: Closing the Loop SF 2026 — On-Demand Event Recordings
Recording Date: June 5, 2026

On June 5 in South San Francisco, five organizations showed what it looks like when computational protein design and wet lab validation are no longer separate steps. Every talk came back to the same thing: the gap between what the model predicts and what the experiment returns is closing. Fast.

Sessions:

• The New Way Biologists Work — Kexin Huang, PhD, Co-founder, Phylo
• Designing Functional Proteins With Artificial Intelligence — Sharrol Bachas, PhD, Founder & CSO, Onava
• Closing the Loop: Ultra-Fast Wet Lab Validation for AI-Guided Protein Design — Ron Gill, PhD, Innovation Manager, Adaptyv Bio
• AI-Designed Biosensors on Gator — Daniel-Adriano Silva, PhD, CEO and President, Monod Bio
• Gator Bio Technology Review — Sriram Kumaraswamy, PhD, VP of Marketing & Product Management, Gator Bio
