Agentic AI Workshop for Bioconductor and R
A one-day, hands-on workshop on agentic AI for the Bioconductor and R community — what coding agents are, how to use them effectively, and how they can accelerate package development and developer workflows.
The morning is didactic: an introduction to agents, followed by skills, MCP, and effective use of agents and sub-agents. The afternoon is hands-on: agents building real projects, a focus group on Bioconductor and developer activities, and small-group deep dives on projects you care about.
Sign up for a coding agent for your own use before the workshop — you’ll need it for the afternoon sessions. See Before You Arrive for options and details.
