Chair
Denis DeBlois, Chair of the International Scientific Programme Commitee PSWCIntroduction
Our ability to collect, store and analyze data is growing exponentially, creating new opportunities to understand and influence biological processes. The emerging field of AI has the potential to revolutionize pharmaceutical sciences, thanks to its ability to detect patterns in large data sets and learn from experience. This workshop is for all pharmaceutical scientists interested in learning how to best use big data and AI to support and accelerate their research. Primer presentations will be followed by a live interactive session with the experts to address issues encountered by pharmaceutical scientists in the fields of target and molecule discovery to precision medicine and optimization to drug usage using real-world evidence.
