Title: Building Trustworthy AI Solutions by Solving the Data Curation Crisis in Drug R&D

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence holds immense promise to revolutionize healthcare, yet its impact is constantly hindered by a persistent problem: the sheer volume and fragmentation of raw biomedical data. Companies report that most of their time is still spent on cleaning data before any AI can begin. Elucidata's journey in building AI for biopharma illustrates a clear evolution: from slow manual processes to siloed single-task models (like BERT), and finally to a state where trustworthy AI can be achieved at scale.

Speaker Bio: Abhishek Jha is Co-founder and CEO of Elucidata, on a mission to co-build Trusted AI systems for precision medicine companies. Abhishek was earlier at Agios Pharmaceuticals, that helped bring four first-in-class therapies to patients. Elucidata, to date, has helped Pharma & Biotech partners bring 17 drugs to the clinic. Prior to this, he was trained at The University of Chicago and MIT.

Abhishek has seen firsthand the high cost of data chaos in R&D, and founded Elucidata to solve this. Elucidata's technology delivers AI-ready data 10X faster with a 60% reduction in data processing costs, empowering top organizations to drive predictive analytics and generative AI initiatives.

A recognized leader with 20+ years at the nexus of life sciences and data science, Abhishek is dedicated to ensuring that high-quality data accelerates the path of drugs from the lab to the patients who need them.
