About this Class
The rapid advancement of large language models is enabling a new generation of domain-specific agents capable of reasoning, retrieving, and acting in complex biomedical contexts. In this talk, Dr. Lu present two representative systems: GeneAgent (Nature Methods 2025), an AI agent for self-verified gene set analysis, and TrialGPT (Nature Communications, 2024), a new LLM-powered tool for accelerating patient-to-trial matching. Through real-world use cases, he will discuss the design principles behind these biomedical AI tools, and how such AI agents can support biomedical discovery and clinical practice, as well as challenges and limitations in medical agentic AI research.
