From AI and clinical trial agility to policy and innovation, the discussions from the Financial Times US Pharma & Biotech Summit reinforced one thing: meaningful progress happens when strategy, science and execution come together. We were proud to contribute to the conversation through two impactful sessions: Rob Goodwin, Chief Operating Officer, shared his perspective in a keynote interview on building a patient-first culture. He highlighted how embedding patient-centricity at the core of operations can drive better outcomes, faster enrollment and stronger performance across development programs. Tala Fakhouri, Ph.D., M.P.H., Chief AI & Regulatory Strategy Officer, joined the panel 𝘈𝘐 𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘢 – 𝘈 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳, focusing on how the industry can move beyond experimentation to real, scalable impact across the clinical trial lifecycle.
