Breakout One

Chair: Anthony Rowe, Head of Technology – Global Scientific IT, Janssen

Data Strategy in R&D and post marketing

13.40 AI in Pharmacovigilance

John Reinhard Pietzsch, Head of Data Science & Insights, Bayer

13.55

13.55 Building the ARC: Assay Results Cloud for GSK

GSK is producing more data than ever before. We have new AI/ML use cases, a modern landscape with a myriad of disparate data sources and more complex data restriction rules. Our legacy systems are not built to handle the volume, variety or density of data coming from our assays today. To address this we are developing ARC – a cloud based assay data repository built to flexibly handle petabytes of data with simplified governance and ALCOA+ compliance.

Maren Monnich, Product Owner, Discovery & Tools, GSK
