Lab guide for adopting agentic work and coding assistants.

Agentic AI Workshop Series · Session 3 · with ClawBio

The Future of Biology Is Agentic · 29 April 2026

Co-hosted with ClawBio. A 60 min hands-on session: install ClawBio, run a real pharmacogenomics report on demo (or your own) genetic data, and have your agent interpret CYP2D6 metabolizer status against CPIC drug guidelines — all locally, in under a second.

Next Workshop Workshop Landing Page · 29 April Plan, QR codes, install routes, prerequisites. Pharmacogenomics tutorial VCF / 23andMe in → CPIC dose-adjustment card out, via ClawBio. ClawBio Bioinformatics-native AI agent skill library. Local-first, reproducible.

Tutorials

Setup

Get started with AI coding tools — install OpenCode, connect to OpenRouter, and run your first Kimi K2.5 prompt.

Penguins Analysis

Data analysis with AI assistants — explore a real dataset, write code with suggestions, and produce publication-ready plots.

Journal Club Slides

Create presentations from papers — feed a PDF to an agent and receive a structured Reveal.js slide deck ready to present.

Single Cell Portal

Build an interactive scRNA-seq viewer — scaffold a Shiny/web app that lets users explore dimensionality-reduction plots.

Context Management

Understand context windows and costs — learn how context rot develops and how to use /compact to keep runs cheap and accurate.

Figure Legend Generator

Workshop challenge — build an agent that writes publication-ready figure legends. Best generator wins.

APM

Dependency manager for AI context — use the Agent Package Manager to declare, version, and inject context modules automatically.

Second Brain

Build a personal research wiki from your own papers — drop PDFs in raw/, have the agent compile summaries, concept articles and backlinks, then query across it.

Second Brain — Stretch Goals

Once your wiki works — run a linting pass, add the claude-obsidian plugin, render matplotlib figures from frontmatter, turn answers into Marp decks, vibe-code a search engine.

Pharmacogenomics with ClawBio

Install ClawBio, run a pharmacogenomics report on demo (or your own) genetic data, and have your agent translate CYP2D6 metabolizer status into CPIC dose-adjustment recommendations.
