The Evolving Role of Generative AI in Pharma

Generative AI is moving fast—and in pharma, it’s no longer just a buzzword. In this episode of The Effective Statistician Podcast, I speak with Manuel Cossio about how Generative AI is already being applied in real-world pharma settings, where it’s delivering value today, and what still needs careful consideration in regulated environments. Manuel brings a unique hybrid background, combining molecular biology, genetics, pharma experience, and deep AI engineering expertise. He works at the cutting edge of AI in clinical development, including agentic systems, human-in-the-loop approaches, and large-scale document automation. This conversation goes well beyond theory. We focus on practical use cases, real limitations, and how statisticians, programmers, and data scientists can responsibly use GenAI to become more effective.
