Pharma leaders keep asking the same question: what actually works in R&D with AI, and what still fails in the real world?

On November 27 at 5:00 pm at our Zühlke Group HQ in Schlieren, Zurich, join an unscripted conversation focused on execution, with leading experts from big pharma (JNJ, Roche) and Big Tech (AWS). Expect candid lessons on:

- Moving from pilot to platform; workflow ownership and measurable outcomes
- Data quality, governance, and MLOps that survive audits
- Where GenAI is already helping in discovery, trial design, and safety, and where it is not

## Speakers

- Scott Oloff, Vice President, R&D Data Science - Discovery, Product Development & Clinical Supply JNJ (previously SVP Data & Analytics, Roche)
- Tasio Guevara, Sr. Solutions Architect Industries, Healthcare & Life Sciences, AWS
- Gabriel Krummenacher, Director Data Science, Zühlke
- Daniel Wilhelm, Managing Director Health Industry EMEA & Partner, Zühlke

If you lead R&D, data science, clinical, or IT in life sciences, this session is for you.
