AI-powered drug discovery: Accelerating the development of life-saving therapies

18 September 2025

1:00pm

AI in drug discovery is no longer theoretical. It’s already speeding up target identification, improving predictions, and cutting waste. Learn how to apply it in your own discovery pipeline.

In this expert-led webinar, you’ll learn how AI is transforming drug development – from early discovery to market – with a focus on how explainable insights are helping research teams make faster, smarter decisions.

As pressure mounts to improve efficiency, cut costs, and accelerate timelines, AI is emerging as a powerful tool to break through long-standing bottlenecks. But where is it truly making an impact – and what does effective, interpretable AI implementation really look like in practice?

Dr Remco Jan Geukes Foppen will share practical insights into how AI is being applied across the pharmaceutical sector, helping teams move faster and make better-informed decisions. He will address how to gain transparency into AI’s decision-making processes, allowing for greater trust and more robust scientific validation. With experience spanning data management, image analysis, bioinformatics and machine learning in clinical research, he brings both deep technical expertise and strategic understanding of real-world challenges.

Key learning points:

  • Learn how AI is accelerating early-stage drug discovery and improving predictions through explainable models.
  • Explore real-world examples of AI delivering measurable impact in pharma and life sciences, with an emphasis on interpretable results.
  • Discover practical strategies for applying AI effectively and understanding its outputs within your organisation.
  • Ask your questions live and benefit from expert insight during the Q&A session.

Whether you work in biotech, pharma, data science, or translational research, this session will offer a clear view of how AI is being used across early discovery – and what its explainable application could mean for the future of your work.
