Description

“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.
