What is the Pragmatic AI in Pharmaceutical R&D Operations course about?

Cross-functional pharmaceutical programs often stall when AI initiatives lack operational clarity. Data scientists, clinical leads, regulatory affairs, and program managers operate in silos, leading to misaligned expectations, duplicated effort, and delayed timelines. Without a shared framework, even promising AI pilots fail to scale beyond proof-of-concept.
