Pistoia Alliance

We are honoured to have won a 2025 Bio-IT Innovative Practices Award for our FAIR Maturity Matrix and to have also received an Honourable Mention for our In Vitro Pharmacology (IVP) project in this year’s awards. These awards reflect the dedication and collaboration of all our members who have participated in our FAIR and IVP initiatives and we look forward to presenting our winning submissions and accepting the awards at the Bio-IT World Conference and Expo, April 2-4, Boston. #BioITExpo We have been awarded the Lighthouse Award for achieving an industry first with the creation of our FAIR Maturity Matrix - an easy-to-use self-assessment tool that measures organizational leadership and technical maturity. Our IVP project which has established a public-private partnership with regulators at the FDA and working collaboratively with biopharmaceutical industry stakeholders, has been highlighted as ‘one to watch’ by the judges in the years to come. The Bio-IT World Innovative Practices Awards highlight outstanding examples of technology innovation in the life sciences and are judged by a panel of expert, peer judges. The Award program recognizes partnerships and projects pushing our industry forward, promoting strategies that can be widely shared and implemented across the industry to improve the quality, pace, and reach of science.

Call for AI/ML Speakers for the Pharma and Life Sciences AI/ML training program! The Pistoia Alliance is looking for experienced pharmaceutical industry professionals interested in joining our academic experts in sharing their expertise and experience with the next generation of scientists. Complete this form by 31 of March?if you would like to join any of the upcoming training sessions: Session 1 - Intro to AI/ ML and how it is used in pharma. Session 2 - AI for drug discovery. Session 3 - Generative AI for Drug Development. Session 4 - AI in computational chemistry. Session 5 - Enhancing Drug Development through Multimodal Deep Learning. Session 6 - LLMs for information extraction. Session 7 - Computer vision. Session 8 - Integrating Knowledge Graphs for Enhanced Data Understanding. Session 9 - Digital pharmaceutical manufacturing.

We are pleased to be launching the next phase of our collaborative project to measure and reduce the carbon footprint of clinical trials. This initiative will assess the environmental impact of digital trial delivery methods (eConsent, decentralized clinical trials (DCT)) and digital health solutions (devices, apps), compared to traditional, paper-based approaches. Closing a critical gap in the understanding of whether digital technologies are more sustainable will enable a standardized methodology for evaluating the use of digital tools in clinical trials to be established. To further support the Pistoia Alliance’s focus on sustainability, we have created a new White Paper exploring the broader sustainability challenges in pharmaceutical R&D and the need for better measurement frameworks to drive meaningful change.

Next week, I’m heading to London for the second time this year. As a Brit, I’m not complaining… Cadbury’s Creme Eggs, I’m coming for ya ?? This will be my first Pistoia Alliance event, the European annual conference at the Royal Society of Medicine, bringing together some fantastic companies in the biopharmaceutical space. MedBio is one of the event sponsors, and as always, we’ll be there to share DISGENET with you. It’s an exciting time, with the 25.1 release just around the corner. This quarterly update introduces a new ancestry filter and biobank data, massively increasing the number of variants in our database. I’ll be there with Laura, our Scientific Director and one of the founders, on Tuesday and Wednesday (25/26th) Looking forward to seeing who we meet and what I learn And of course, a couple of packets of Walkers crisps ?? See you there? ???
