Life Science AI Exchange Round Table: Practical Application
Practical Application: Change Management, Adoption, GxP Compliance & Validation Requirements brings members together to discuss what happens once a pilot succeeds, when AI tools have to survive contact with validation, GxP compliance, and the people who actually have to use them day to day. Expect a candid, working conversation rather than a webinar, held […]
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 […]

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. […]
2026 CSCS Conference
Controlled substances don’t move through the world in isolation. They move through a global supply chain that regulation, geopolitics and technology are reshaping faster than ever. Staying compliant today means seeing the whole picture: from R&D and manufacturing through shipping and logistics to final delivery. Last year’s inaugural conference at Novartis, Switzerland, brought together […]

Pharmaceutical CMC Process Ontology
The Pistoia Alliance is developing a semantic framework for a Pharmaceutical CMC Process Ontology. The work includes building a shared domain lexicon, taxonomy, ontology, and data model to extend the ISA-88 framework and support the standardization of laboratory and plant production process recipes. To date, the project has established a strong foundation for improving technology […]
Quantum Computing in Pharma R&D: Accelerating to Adoption
Quantum computing is beginning to move from experimental promise towards early practical application — and the life sciences industry is well placed to explore where this emerging technology may deliver value. Hosted by the Pistoia Alliance and IBM, this event will bring together leaders from quantum technology, biopharma, and life sciences R&D to examine […]
