Calling AI builders
interested in biotech
Develop an idea, learn the biotech industry, join the community




Work in CS, data science, or AI and eyeing a biotech shift? Frequency is a free, flexible online program to kickstart your biotech journey, whether you want to do research, join or start a company.
We assume no prior knowledge of biology or the biotech industry, and you’ll leave with an understanding of the industry, the trajectory companies take, and a list of open problems to apply your skills to. Along the way you’ll also hear from founders building companies at the intersection of AI and biotech.
