Journal Club: LLM Agents for Biostatistics Analysis
Co-hosted by Boya AI Club and Research Triangle AI Society (RTAI)

Time: Monday 9/8, 10:00 PM (Eastern time) | 7:00 PM (Pacific time).

Speaker: John Guo
Senior Biostatistician, Alkahest - Leading pre-diagnostic biomarker research in Parkinson's disease.
Director, RTAI - Al enthusiast driving educational and community initiatives, promoting the responsible use of Al in science and society.

In this session, we will explore how large language models (LLMs) are transforming biomedical and biostatistical research.

1. Live demo:

• Tips and tricks for LLM assisted biomedical research

2. Journal club:

• Data Interpreter (arXiv:2402.18679): introducing an agentic system that bridges LLMs with data science workflows
• DrBioRight (Nature Communications, 2025): presenting an intelligent assistant designed to guide biomedical researchers in analysis, interpretation, and decision-making.

This journal club is aimed at researchers with strong expertise in biomedicine, biostatistics, or bioinformatics. Attendees should be comfortable running and understanding programming workflows and bring some hands-on experience with Al tools.
