Jaenisch, Muraru, and Pandey discuss new skills for QC and regulatory teams, plus patient trust, as new approach methodologies reshape pharma.

Panelists on PharmTech AI Pulse Check debate SURPASS, a new digital-twin trial program, regulatory acceptance, and the data-cleanup burden it will create.

Jaenisch, Muraru, and Pandey join PharmTech's Cole to discuss FDA's generative AI paper, ARPA-H's SURPASS trials, and AI accountability.

PharmTech AI Pulse Check panelists explain why attribution, audit trails, and sign-off matter more than AI watermark detection for GxP quality teams.

Cole and Jaenisch dig into AI poisoning in pharma manufacturing, how it hides in plain sight, and who should be accountable for catching it.

The deadline to comment on FDA's generative AI paper is Oct 19, 2026. We explain why professionals in pharma manufacturing should weigh in.

Richard Jaenisch examines whether FDA's NAM pathway truly shortens drug pipelines or just shifts the evidentiary burden elsewhere.
