June 17, 2024, 9:00-12:30: Introduction to Large Language Models (LLMs)

Target Audience: This session is primarily for attendees new to LLMs. It will cover the basics of what LLMs are, their underlying technology, and their potential applications in pharmaceutical sciences. Attendees with prior knowledge of LLMs may skip this session.
Content: Overview of LLMs, understanding their mechanisms, potential benefits, and limitations in the context of pharmaceutical research and development.
June 18, 2024, 9:00-12:30: Legal Concerns and Introduction to New Tools/Platforms

Content: This session will delve into the new legal challenges posed by LLMs, including intellectual property issues and data privacy concerns. We will also explore various tools and platforms, both local and remote, that are being developed to leverage LLMs in pharmaceutical sciences. The discussion will include how these tools can be integrated into existing workflows.
June 19, 2024, 9:00-12:30: Hands-On Coding and Application in Pharmaceutical Sciences

Content: The final day will be a practical session focused on solving coding problems using LLMs. Participants will learn how LLMs can assist in programmatic solutions within pharmaceutical sciences, including data analysis, drug discovery, and more. This session emphasizes the importance of Python programming skills; those not proficient are encouraged to partner with others. The goal is to demonstrate the practical applications and limitations of LLMs in enhancing research and development tasks.
