Université Paris-Saclay partners with Owkin to explore the potential of AI co-pilot for biology
Université Paris-Saclay has announced a new partnership with Owkin, exploring the potential of K Pro Free, Owkin’s AI co-pilot for biology.
K Pro Free will be made available to all teachers, researchers, and doctoral students working in biomedical science at Université Paris-Saclay. Owkin will also provide workshops, training sessions, and events to promote the use of K Pro Free.
The partnership will promote user training while also continuously improving the co-pilot’s models through user feedback and use cases from the university.
"Having access to Owkin's K Pro Free is a great opportunity for the student and scientific community of l’Université Paris-Saclay, which will be able to freely use the functionalities of a tool specially designed for biomedical research, offering unique features and scientific rigor that far exceed the capabilities of general-purpose large language models," says Marc Humbert, Dean of Faculté de Médecine de Paris-Saclay.
The two organizations say the initiative “paves the way for a new generation of biomedical research” that is more fluid, connected, and inclusive.
Camille Galap, President of Université Paris-Saclay, adds: “Being a research-intensive university requires offering our community, both students and academics, excellent knowledge and innovative means. With the provision of K Pro Free in our research laboratories, we are taking an innovative approach, allowing our talent to be more productive. Moreover, the link between AI and health is a rapidly growing research activity area. This partnership is of mutual interest and is intended to pave the way for other public-private collaborations in the interest of our communities."
