How AI Is Transforming Biotech: Expert Talk With Karl Schmieder

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in biotechnology is reshaping the landscape of medical and scientific advancements. The success of AI in this field hinges on the seamless collection and analysis of data.

I’m joined by Karl Schmieder, the CEO and Founder of Messaginglab. Karl is not only an enthusiast for biotechnology but also has a rich background that combines biochemistry with creative writing. He emphasizes the importance of storytelling in biotech, underlining that connecting with the end user is just as crucial as the technology itself. 

The conversation spans across data standardization, the need for structured datasets for efficient AI analysis, and the potential for AI to glean insights from Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Electronic Health Records (EHR). 

Karl also sheds light on the biotech industry’s recent growth, noting the significance of networking and effective communication in bridging gaps between startups, investors, and the broader public.
