AI promises transformation in drug development, but without compliance-by-design, even the best models fail audit, delay approval, or get scrapped entirely.

The situation this course is for

Teams are rushing to adopt AI in R&D, but too often build in isolation from quality, regulatory, and validation functions. This leads to rework, rejected submissions, and lost momentum. The gap isn’t technical, it’s operational and procedural.

Who this is for

Regulatory affairs specialists, data scientists, R&D operations leads, quality assurance engineers, and compliance officers in pharmaceutical and biotech organizations who need to deploy AI responsibly and sustainably.

Who this is not for

This is not for AI researchers focused solely on model architecture, nor for executives seeking high-level overviews without implementation detail.

What you walk away with

  • Apply AI in R&D while maintaining full compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, GxP, and data integrity standards
  • Design audit-ready AI workflows with built-in documentation and traceability
  • Align machine learning pipelines with validation requirements for regulated systems
  • Reduce time-to-approval by integrating compliance checks early in the AI lifecycle
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives that balance innovation speed with regulatory rigor
