The course objective is to inform statisticians about the likely interactions they might have with regulatory agencies, both during a submission and at other times during drug development, and give advice on how to make these interactions most effective. The course will focus on clinical development.
The course is primarily targeted at project statisticians who interact with regulators, but would also be suitable for those who may move into this role in the near future.
The course will be presented by experienced statisticians from the MHRA, FDA and those with expansive pharmaceutical company employment and representatives from a company regulatory affairs department. The course will consist of lectures, practical examples and discussions. There will not be any computer exercises.
Day 1: 10:00 – 17:00 (registration from 9:30)
Day 2: 09:00 – 16:00
Key Topics:
• Introduction to the regulatory agencies
• Interactions between EU and US regulators and statisticians at each stage of development
• Overview of regulatory practices in other regions

Our monthly webinar explores examples of innovative data visualisations relevant to our day to day work. Each month a new dataset is provided from a clinical trial or other relevant example, and participants are invited to submit a graphic that communicates interesting and relevant characteristics of the data.
Develop your non-technical skills by reading The Art of Explanation by Ros Atkins and joining the Sept-Dec 2025 book club. You will be invited to join facilitated discussions of the concepts and ideas and apply skills from the book in-between sessions.
This course is aimed at biostatisticians with no or some pediatric drug development experience who are interested to further their understanding. We will give you an introduction to the pediatric drug development landscape. This will include identifying the key regulations and processes governing pediatric development, a discussion on the needs and challenges when conducting pediatric research and a focus on the ways to overcome these challenges from a statistical perspective.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
AI agents are large language models equipped with tools that can autonomously tackle challenging tasks. This talk will explore how generative AI agents can enable biomedical discovery.
The webinar is targeted at statisticians working in the pharmaceutical industry, and the objective is to 1) provide a basic understanding of IV methodology including how it relates to causal inference, and 2) present two inspirational pharma-relevant applications.
The Pre-Clinical Special Interest Group (SIG) Workshop 2025 will take place over two half-days on 7 - 8 October in Verona, Italy, bringing together experts from industry, academia, and regulatory institutions to discuss key challenges and innovations in pre-clinical research.
Four sessions will include ML foundation (including an introduction, data exploration for ML and dimensionality reduction and feature selection), Supervised learning (including support vector machines and model evaluation and interpretation), model optimization and unsupervised learning (including clustering) and advanced topics (including neural networks, deep learning and large language models).
The program will feature insightful sessions led by distinguished invited speakers, alongside a poster session showcasing the latest advancements in the field. Further details will be provided.
