Standards and AI for Pharmacovigilance
Initiatives at Pistoia Alliance to improve pharmacovigilance Pharmacovigilance teams across the industry face the same problems: fragmented systems, duplicated effort, and no shared playbook for adopting AI safely and compliantly. The Pistoia Alliance has two complementary, pre-competitive initiatives to tackle these challenges together: Pharmacovigilance Systems & Processes Standards (PS²): building common business-process, system and interoperability […]
Enabling the Citizen Developer
Your people are already using AI. They’re writing code with it, analyzing data with it, drafting regulatory documents with it – with or without your governance frameworks, your ontology standards, or your validation processes. The question isn’t whether to enable this; it’s whether you’re going to lead it or clean up after it. The Pistoia […]
Why Connected Research is the Next Frontier in Discovery
For decades, the standard response to a research bottleneck has been simple: “We need more data.” But in today’s landscape, the limiting factor is rarely a lack of information—it is the fragmentation of the data we already own. Join info pro Mary Ellen Bates and Mark Hahnel (Digital Science) for a discussion on “The […]
From Target Identification to Clinical Trials — Use Case Deep Dive & Topics for 2027
This end-of-summer seminar takes a longitudinal view of AI across the full drug development pipeline — from the earliest stages of target identification and validation through to clinical trial design and execution. Through in-depth case studies and expert presentations, participants will examine where AI is delivering genuine, measurable value and where significant challenges remain. […]
Life Science AI Exchange Round Table: Failures & Lessons Learned
In an industry where failure is rarely discussed openly, this round table offers something genuinely valuable: a safe, pre-competitive space to share what has gone wrong with AI projects — and what was learned as a result. From misaligned expectations and poor data quality to underestimated complexity and organisational resistance, AI initiatives fail for […]
Life Science AI Exchange Round Table: AI-Ready Data
Building on the AI-Ready Data Workshop held at the Boston Conference, this follow-up session reports back on the discussions, consensus, and open questions that emerged including how FAIR data principles map to AI readiness, and what additional dimensions of data quality the community identified as critical. As with all LSAIE round tables, numbers are […]
Life Science AI Exchange: Achievements in AI and Future Trends
