Reinventing MLR: What Happens When AI Joins the Review Room?

As Medical Affairs teams face rising content volumes, tighter timelines, and increasing complexity, many leaders are asking the same question: Can AI meaningfully improve the MLR review process—and if so, where do we start?

We’ll also discuss governance essentials, and a logical roadmap for responsible adoption, giving attendees the clarity and confidence needed to begin their own AI-enabled transformation. LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Understand the current situation and pain points with MLRUnderstand how GenAI tools can be responsibly introduced into the MLR workflow, highlighting high-value use cases and realistic implementation stepsUnderstand key governance and implementation considerationsSPEAKERSModeratorJaymesh Patel, Director & Strategic Partner - Global Medical Ethics, AstrazenecaSpeaker 1Anneka Kapur, Senior Final Medical Signatory and Compliance Lead, LundbeckSpeaker 2Dr William Mwiti, Biopharma Medical Head: Sub Saharan & French Speaking Africa, Astrazeneca
