- Online/Zoom
Join this free Zoom seminar from 12–1pm to learn about the latest AI contributions to the BioPharma space.
Clinical trials are the single biggest operational and financial risk for small to mid-size biotech companies. This session tackles the five pain points keeping CEOs awake: on-time First Patient In, fewer costly amendments, better enrollment and retention, faster database lock, and predictable execution that protects investor confidence.
Learn how AI, already delivering measurable results for IQVIA, ICON, and Syneos Health, can cut timelines, boost recruitment and preserve millions of dollars of runway per Phase 2b/3 trial.
We want attendees to walk away with a practical roadmap from targeted pilots to portfolio-wide adoption that turns clinical trial risk into a competitive advantage. Join us and give your next trial the advantage it deserves.
There is no cost to participate, but registration is required!
Presenter:
Ndeye Makalou, PharmD, is a global biopharma strategist and Founder & CEO of Global Impact Bio Consulting, a mission‑driven advisory firm that helps life sciences leaders turn complex science into viable products, clinical programs and markets.
