Deploying AI across global R&D sites without governance gaps or operational drag

The situation this course is for

Teams face mounting pressure to deliver AI-driven insights while maintaining compliance, traceability, and coordination across jurisdictions and departments. Traditional approaches lack structure, leaving implementations inconsistent, auditors skeptical, and timelines at risk.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in pharmaceutical R&D, operations, data governance, or regulatory affairs who lead or support AI integration across multi-site programs.

Who this is not for

This is not for entry-level staff, academic researchers without deployment responsibilities, or vendors selling point solutions. It is not a theoretical overview or a coding tutorial.

What you walk away with

  • Apply a repeatable governance framework for AI in multi-site clinical development
  • Align AI workflows with GxP, 21 CFR Part 11, and regional data sovereignty requirements
  • Design federated AI architectures that maintain data integrity across global sites
  • Implement audit-ready documentation and validation processes for AI models
  • Accelerate cross-functional alignment between data science, regulatory, and operations teams
