The Pharma Letter has published an expert view by Ramji Vasudevan, Head of Life Sciences at Altimetrik, titled “AI-first is not a strategy. It’s how the next generation of pharmaceuticals will operate.”
In the article, Ramji explains why pharmaceutical companies must move beyond pilots and embrace AI-first operations as a foundation for growth.
