No Free Lunches: Why Physics Still Matters in an AI-Driven Drug Discovery World

Wed, Sep 16, 10:00 PM

From New York Area Group for Informatics and Modeling (NYAGIM)

4.9

AI is everywhere in drug discovery — platform companies promise it can replace a considerable share of the discovery process, and established discovery companies promise more molecules, faster. Much of this is genuinely intriguing, and some of it will win. But every AI approach is fundamentally bounded by the training data it learns from, and that boundary quietly limits scope in ways that are easy to overlook in the current enthusiasm. Physics-based methods have never promised something for nothing — but they remain essential for filling exactly the gaps that data-driven approaches cannot see. 👉 **Join NYAGIM for our 2026 Q3 event** to connect with the local computational chemistry and informatics community. **David Pearlman Biography** David Pearlman is a computational chemist with over forty years of experience in academic research, drug discovery, and software development. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from UC Berkeley, completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Peter Kollman's lab at UCSF, and became a founding employee at Biosym Technologies, where he led development of the first commercialized structure-based drug design platform. He later worked at Vertex Pharmaceuticals and built and led the BioLuminate biologics software platform at Schrödinger, Inc. Dr. Pearlman was also a first author and principal developer of the widely used AMBER program, publishing extensively on free energy perturbation, ligand scoring, and protein modeling. He writes about drug discovery and computation at [ahalflife.substack.com](http://ahalflife.substack.com/), and is currently Vice President of Product at QSimulate, advancing GPU-accelerated QM/MM integration into production-scale drug discovery workflows.

NYC HealthTech Launchathon and ClawCamp

Sat, Sep 19, 1:00 PM

From MedStartr.NYC - a Healthcare Innovation Community

4.5

***Note: we are postponing and redesigning this event for September. This was a new event type and let's just say, it wasn't as popular as we thought it would be so, in true crowd-validator style, we are going back to the drawing board. Please contact us if you have constructive feedback. Thanks and Stay tuned!*** ***Alex Fair*** Original write up - subject to change. Presented by MedStartr in Partnership with ClawCamp **You bring the vision. We'll help you launch a company — *in a weekend.*** Healthcare is broken in a hundred ways we all see daily. You've felt it as a patient. diagnosed it as a clinician. doded around it as a builder, and hated it as a person who came into healthcare to help people. The things you see that could be better are hard to fix, and it bothers you that they seem incorrigible. But then you got an idea of something that could help, if you could just build it and get it in the hands of people like you to help patients get better care and the system and caregivers to give better care. We know, we have met thousands of you and ARE you too. That's why we have run this group for almost 18 years and done so many events. But now, with the help of AI and the new MedStartr.ai platform, we can help even more. So we created what we are calling a "Launchathon" to help with all that and this is the first one! The NYC HealthTech Launchathon is your chance to do something about it. No startup experience required. No coding background needed. Just bring your problem, your perspective, and your curiosity — and we'll bring the AI tools, expert faculty, mentors, investors, and community to help you build something real. ***The Program: 3 Phases, 8 Weeks*** **🔶 Phase I · HealthTech ClawCamp · August 1–2** **\*\*Day 1 — August 1 \| Stack AI HQ\, One World Trade Center\*\*** Learn. Ideate. Validate with Experts on hand and Build or add to your team from other folks like yourself. Meet amazing people. Pitch problems. Learn from expert AI faculty, upskill. Present or Find a problem worth solving — and the team to solve it with. No startup idea or coding required, but bring your passion to build solutions to the problems in healthcare. **Day 2 — August 2 \| Arya Health HQ\, NYC\*\*** ***Build Something Real.*** Build prototypes. Validate ideas. Design workflows. Interview users. Use AI, code, and creativity. Leave Day 2 with something real — a working prototype posted to MedStartr.ai Qualifies you for Phase II (Also Awards of tokens and other great stuff from Day 2 Winners) **🟡 Phase II · MedStartr Crowd Challenge · August 2 – October 6** Your Build goes live on MedStartr.ai where 250,000+ credentialed healthcare stakeholders — patients, clinicians, investors, partners — can review, comment, follow, pilot, and share. More eyes. More feedback. More signal on what actually matters. Teams keep building and iterating based on what the crowd says. **🏆 Phase III · Launchathon Finals · October 6** **Health Impact Forum · Microsoft · Times Square, NYC** The top crowd-validated teams take the stage at one of NYC's biggest healthcare innovation gatherings.

New York Co-Founder Matching: Find a Partner by Solving Real Problems

Wed, Sep 9, 10:00 PM

From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | New York

4.1

**Startup networking event in NYC for founders, investors and tech talent**. Meet builders and connect with Ascent Valley community. Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated startup networking event in NYC Manhattan. Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP:** [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/new-york-co-founder-matching-find-a-partner-by-solving-real-problems-tickets-1997946235975?aff=oddtdtcreator#location) ***Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.*** You don't find a co-founder by reading a profile. You find one by working. Two hours next to someone shows you how they think, argue and cut scope. A profile shows you nothing. So we don't do matching — we do work, and the partnership question answers itself. 🧩 YOUR PROBLEM IS ON THE BOARD BEFORE YOU WALK IN After you book, you send us one line: the problem you're bringing. By the time you arrive it's already on the board with everyone else's. The room votes, the top problems get the tables — five people, twenty-five minutes each, one problem at a time. Two minutes to explain it. Three minutes of questions only. Eight minutes while the table works on it out loud and you turn your chair around and take notes — you don't defend, you don't explain, you write. Two minutes for what you're taking away. Halfway through there's a second vote, so the problems that didn't make the first round get their turn. By the end you've worked shoulder-to-shoulder with eight to ten people. That's a filter no profile gives you. 🎯 NOBODY LEAVES WITH NOTHING Before we scatter, the host asks one question out loud: who still doesn't have an answer? Every hand gets the room's attention — and someone in it has the contact you need. 🤝 MUTUAL MATCHES ONLY You mark the people you'd build something with. We connect you only when both sides say yes, within 48 hours. No cold intros, no lists, no awkward follow-ups to people who weren't interested. 📋 ONE THING IS REQUIRED BEFORE YOU COME A three-minute form in our [Mini App](https://ascentvalley.com/community "https://ascentvalley.com/community"): your problem in one line, some context, how long it's been unresolved. Only submitted problems make the board and the vote. 👥 WHO'S IN THE ROOM Solo founders looking for a technical or commercial partner · engineers and builders who want to co-found, not take a job · product and GTM operators ready for zero-to-one · founders with a team who came to unstick something. Hosted by Andrey Krylow. He greets every guest at the door, seats you at the right table, and makes the introductions — nobody stands alone at this event. WHAT'S GUARANTEED: a curated room, two working sessions, mutual matches within 48 hours. WHAT WE DON'T PROMISE: a co-founder by the end of the evening, or a room full of investors. What we promise is the working session that tells you who's worth a second conversation. Three rules, said out loud in sixty seconds: what's said here stays here · we share experience, not advice · moving to another table mid-session is normal. Registration required. Check-in through the Ascent Valley Mini App inside Telegram: everyone you meet stays saved, matched and reachable after tonight. Ascent Valley — a founder and investor ecosystem across 21 cities.

AI Night: What's Actually Working

Thu, Sep 3, 9:30 PM

From NYC Blockchain Network

4.5

RSVP so we know roughly how many. No speaker, no slides, no pitches. Just the room. Different subject, same instinct: this crowd has spent years on the idea that you don't take one source's word for it. That's the most useful habit anyone can bring to AI right now. The Hugh, 5:30 to 7:30. Grab a drink, meet people, and around 6 we get into it. The prompt: what's actually working, and what quietly isn't. Bring one thing AI did for you this month that surprised you, and one thing you were sure it would handle and it didn't. For founders, builders and operators using AI in real work, crypto side or not. RSVP so we know roughly how many.
