Community Connect #5 - From Code to Cure - A Biotech Networking Event

Join us for the fifth edition of Community Connect, Montgomery College’s signature biotech networking event hosted by the Pinkney Innovation Complex for Science + Technology (PIC MC).

From algorithms to breakthroughs, from data points to diagnoses—AI is powering a new era of possibility in life sciences and healthcare. At this edition of Community Connect, explore how artificial intelligence is transforming every stage of innovation, taking us from code to cure.

This unique event follows the arc of innovation—from the data and infrastructure that make AI possible, to the tools and platforms driving discovery, and finally to the real-world impact on patients, providers, and populations.

Whether you’re writing the code, analyzing the data, engineering the systems, or imagining the applications, you’ll find collaborators, insights, and inspiration in every corner.

Come for the connections, stay for the conversations, and leave with insight into the innovations.

Stay tuned. Announcing soon.
