Sanofi’s R&D Head on AI, Franchises and Reinventing R&D for the Long Game
22 May 2025
“AI is going to be super transformative... we’ve all moved too slowly and need to speed up our integration.” says Houman Ashrafian, Head of R&D at Sanofi. In this episode, Ashrafian joins Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Sam Fazeli to unpack how AI-powered portfolio construction, franchise-based innovation and a long-term mindset are reshaping the pharma giant’s R&D strategy. They explore Sanofi’s ambition to become a premier immunology powerhouse, how the company is applying venture-style rigor to pipeline decisions, and why cultural transformation -- not quarterly earnings -- is the key to staying relevant through 2040.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
