    Ep207: The economics of clinical trials and the relationship to AI

    Clinical trials are a massive industry with brutal economics, long timelines, and failure rates that would be unacceptable in almost any other sector. In this episode, Dr Andree Bates is joined by Dr Joseph Geraci of NetraMark to break down why trials fail so often, how patient heterogeneity drives cost and uncertainty, and where AI can realistically shift the economics.

    Joseph shares his unusual path from mathematics and mathematical physics into oncology and medical science, including a decision to move into hospital research rather than follow a more traditional academic route. That shift shaped his focus: not just discovering more molecules, but understanding why the same drug can work brilliantly for some patients and fail for others.

    A central theme is that clinical trials are not “one disease, one patient type”. In many areas, disease definitions are too broad for trial design, making trials feel like trying to hit multiple dartboards with one dart. Joseph explains how NetraMark’s approach aims to identify meaningful subpopulations inside small datasets, finding the “pocket” where a drug’s true advantage shows up, without discarding patients as outliers.

    The conversation also touches on regulators, including growing interest in innovation pathways, but also the fear pharma teams have about changing protocols and risking setbacks. Joseph argues that AI’s biggest economic value in trials is speed, using better insight from limited trial data to guide enrichment strategies, smarter substudy decisions, and faster iteration, especially in oncology and rare disease where time is everything.


    Topics Covered

    • Why clinical trial economics are becoming unsustainable

    • Patient heterogeneity and why disease definitions break trials

    • Finding “pockets” of responders within small datasets

    EP206: Why Your Pharma AI Strategy Is Probably Broken — And What a Real Blueprint Looks Like

    AI capability has never been higher, yet most pharma AI programmes are still failing to create measurable business impact. In this solo episode, Dr Andree Bates breaks down why many pharma and biotech AI strategies are “broken before they even begin” and what a real AI strategic blueprint needs to include if you want adoption, scale, and outcomes, not just impressive pilots.


    Dr Andree explains the core paradox: AI can now synthesise literature at speed, accelerate discovery, and outperform human experts in specific tasks, but the business results are often disappointing because the failure is rarely technical. It is strategic. She describes the “technical obsession trap”, where organisations spend months optimising models and benchmarking competitors while adoption remains low and teams are not operationally ready to act on the outputs.


    She outlines three common failure modes:

    • Innovation Theatre, where disconnected pilots never compound into enterprise value

    • Competitor benchmarking, where companies copy use cases that do not fit their context

    • Technology first strategy, where tools are bought before priorities are defined

    From there, she maps what a strong pharma AI blueprint must cover: grounding in business objectives, end to end deployment architecture (data, governance, capability, change), leadership and culture, rigorous financial modelling tied to revenue and ROI, and alignment across functions including commercial, medical, regulatory, R&D, market access, insights, and tech teams.


    Dr Andree closes with a clear challenge for leadership: competitive advantage will come to organisations that build the most intelligent operating model around AI, not those with the biggest budgets. She also offers a 45 minute AI strategic diagnostic for pharma and biotech leaders who want an honest read on what to fix before investing further.


    Topics Covered

    • Why pharma AI impact often disappoints despite powerful tools

    • The “technical obsession trap” and the AI strategy blind spot

    • Innovation Theatre, competitor benchmarking, and technology first mistakes

    • What a pharma AI strategic blueprint must include

    • Governance as a foundation for scale and regulatory trust

    • Leadership, culture, and adoption as the real differentiators

    • Financial modelling and prioritisation based on ROI and revenue impact

    • Organisational alignment across the full pharma value chain

    • Choosing the right advisory partner and avoiding generic frameworks

    • Why strategy must come before technology to build durable advantage

    E205: Healthcare Accessibility & Innovation

    Healthcare accessibility is still being held hostage by phone queues, missed calls, and clunky portals. In this episode, Dr Andree Bates sits down with Josh Taylor of TxtSquad to explore why simple, secure texting can remove friction for patients and providers, and how AI can support the conversation without making care feel robotic.

    Josh explains why SMS works where apps often fail: it is familiar, low effort, and asynchronous. That means patients can reply on their own time, while care teams can manage conversations in a way that fits real clinic workflows instead of forcing everyone into yet another platform.

    They dig into the pharma and adherence angle too. Josh shares how two-way messaging helps teams move beyond generic reminders and uncover the real reasons people stop taking medication, opening the door to earlier support, smarter interventions, and better outcomes.

    Finally, Josh outlines where AI adds value inside messaging: triage for common questions, translation, summarisation, and staff copilots. He also highlights the importance of compliance, clear boundaries, and human oversight when dealing with sensitive health information. The future, he suggests, is smarter communication across SMS, voice, and phone-based assistants, designed to meet patients where they already are.


    Topics Covered

    • Why portals and apps struggle with adoption in healthcare

    • SMS as a low-barrier, asynchronous engagement channel

    • Building a two-way patient to provider communication loop

    • Medication adherence: understanding drop-off, not just sending reminders

    • Patient assistance programmes and support at scale

    • Clinical trial recruitment and retention using messaging

    • AI in messaging: triage, translation, summarisation, and staff copilots

    • Compliance considerations and handling sensitive information

    • What comes next: voice agents and deeper integration with phone workflows

    E204: Human-Centered AI: Designing Intelligence That Aligns With Us

    As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly woven into everyday life, the real question isn’t just what AI can do — it’s what it should do for humans. In this episode, Dr Andree Bates interviews Dr Morteza Zihayat of Heisenberg Network to explore Human-Centred AI: designing intelligent systems that prioritise welfare, autonomy, dignity and trust over pure technical capability.


    Morteza explains how his background in data mining led to a key insight: numbers can be incredibly powerful, but they still “miss the mark” when human values are ignored. That perspective shaped his work in Human-Centred AI and helped inspire Heisenberg Network, a decentralised infrastructure designed to transform fragmented, messy data into high-quality, AI-ready intelligence — in minutes rather than weeks — while dramatically reducing cost.


    The conversation digs into what human-centred design looks like in practice. Morteza introduces a “ladder of priorities” to manage conflicting values — from safety and laws at the top, through ethics and platform policies, down to individual preferences — and argues that making this ladder public gives people a right to debate and appeal decisions when something feels wrong.


    Finally, Morteza tackles the unavoidable trade-offs between performance and fairness, sharing a real example from mental health research where reducing model accuracy produced a fairer system that clinicians felt more comfortable using. His key message is urgent: powerful AI is coming either way — making it human-centred is a choice we need to commit to now, with transparency becoming non-negotiable.

    Topics Covered

    • What Human-Centred AI means in practice

    • Turning user stories into concrete design checks

    • The “ladder of priorities” for managing conflicting values

    • Designing systems for welfare, autonomy, dignity and trust

    • Power caps and keeping AI controllable

    • Personalisation vs wellbeing (and avoiding filter bubbles)

    • Where bias enters: data, models, and feedback loops

    • Debiasing pipelines and fairness as real-world data shifts

    • Learning from users without storing raw personal data

    • Explainability challenges with reasoning models

    • Why transparency is becoming non-negotiable

    • When less accuracy can be the more responsible choice

    E203: Building Programmable Biologics from Scratch: How DenovAI's AI is Revolutionizing Drug Discovery

    Designing proteins that have never existed in nature is no longer sci-fi — it’s becoming a real drug discovery strategy. In this episode, Kashif Sadiq, Founder & CEO of DenovAI Biotech, explains how AI is powering a shift from searching for biologic binders to intentionally designing new proteins from scratch.

    Kashif shares his journey from studying physics at University of Cambridge into computational biophysics, and how breakthroughs like AlphaFold from DeepMind helped unlock the next frontier: de novo protein design. Instead of hoping evolution has already produced a usable molecule, Kashif describes how modern AI can engineer bespoke proteins for specific functions, including challenging targets where traditional approaches come up short.

    The conversation dives into the sheer scale of “protein space” and why evolution has only explored a tiny fraction of what’s possible. Kashif outlines how this opens the door to targeting diseases and biological mechanisms that have historically been considered undruggable, especially where flat protein interfaces or complex signalling pathways have made small molecules ineffective.

    Finally, Kashif explains why combining generative AI with physics-based methods is essential to reduce false positives, improve real-world binding performance, and enable “one-shot design” — where discovery and optimisation become a single integrated process. He also shares what keeps him up at night: clinical trial attrition — and why designing better earlier may be the key to improving success later.

    Topics Covered

    • De novo protein design vs traditional biologics discovery

    • Why evolution explored only a tiny fraction of protein space

    • “Programmable biologics” and intentional molecular design

    • Alpha Design and designing proteins from the inverse problem

    • Antibodies, nanobodies, and therapeutic protein engineering

    • Combining generative AI with physics-based validation

    • Reducing false positives in protein binding predictions

    • “One-shot design” and compressing discovery timelines

    • Undruggable targets, flat interfaces, and intracellular signalling

    • Clinical trial attrition and what’s missing at the preclinical stage

    • When the first de novo-designed therapeutic could enter trials

    E202: Recent Advances in LLMs and How They Will Impact Science and Pharma Research

    Large Language Models (LLMs) are moving far beyond text generation—and into the heart of scientific discovery and pharmaceutical research. In this episode, Javier Tordable, founder and CEO of Pauling.ai and former Google technologist, explains how agentic AI systems are transforming early-stage drug discovery.

    Javier shares how modern LLMs differ from earlier generations, highlighting their ability to perform autonomous, multi-step scientific workflows rather than isolated tasks. These AI agents can read and synthesize massive volumes of scientific literature, generate novel hypotheses, validate ideas against published research, and accelerate computational chemistry simulations that once took months or years.

    The discussion dives into how LLMs are being used today to identify drug targets, design molecules, optimize clinical trials, and reduce manual scientific labor, while still preserving the critical role of human creativity and experimental validation. Javier also addresses the real risks—hallucinations, data quality, reproducibility—and why hybrid AI + physics-based approaches are essential for trustworthy results.

    E201: The Small Molecule Revolution: ProPhet's Tom Shani on AI-Powered Drug Discovery

    Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the pharmaceutical industry—and nowhere is that more evident than in small-molecule drug discovery. In this episode, we sit down with Tom Shani, CEO and co-founder of ProPhet, an AI-driven biotech company focused on discovering drugs for hard-to-target proteins.

    Tom explains how machine learning models, transformers, and AI-driven molecular representations are overcoming the biggest limitations of traditional drug discovery: slow timelines, high failure rates, missing data, and billion-dollar R&D costs. Rather than relying solely on physics-based simulations and trial-and-error lab work, AI systems learn patterns directly from noisy biological data—making them uniquely suited for real-world biology.

    The conversation explores how AI can compress drug discovery timelines from decades to years, reduce failed trials, and dramatically lower costs by improving early-stage target and molecule selection. Tom also breaks down why small molecules remain the backbone of modern medicine, how AI enables scalable exploration of vast chemical space, and why trust, regulation, and validation remain the biggest hurdles to adoption.
