Report on Expert Talk
ITS College of Pharmacy organized an Expert Talk on Artificial Intelligence AI in Pharmacy
on 20 th March 2026 to provide insight into the rapidly expanding role of AI across various
domains of healthcare drug development and pharmaceutical industry operations On this
occasion Mr Arpit Chadha Vice Chairman ITS The Education Group emphasized that
now a days AI is revolutionizing the way we approach pharmacy practice and research from drug
discovery and formulation development to personalized medicine and clinical decisionmaking
He also conveyed that such expert sessions play a vital role in providing our students and faculty
with valuable insights into how innovative technologies like AI can enhance efficiency accuracy
and patient outcomes
Dr S Sadish Kumar Director welcomed the faculty members and students to the Expert Talk for
Value Added CourseModule I On this occasion he introduced Dr Varun Singh and thanked
him for his session on Artificial Intelligence which is a part of Value Added Course on AI in
Pharmacy ModuleI
Dr Varun Singh ScientistIII Government Medical Device Testing Officer Biosafety
Office National Institute of Biologicals Noida started the session with an engaging and
insightful interaction focused on guiding students toward personal and professional growth The
expert talk provided a comprehensive overview of the expanding role of artificial intelligence AI
in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors highlighting its applications in data analysis
predictive modeling quality control manufacturing optimization and supply chain management
thereby improving overall efficiency and productivity The speaker emphasized the growing
importance of AI in promoting sustainability through carbon tracking systems that help reduce
environmental impact and support green pharmaceutical manufacturing Realworld examples of
global adoption by companies such as Johnson amp Johnson Cipla and technologydriven
organizations in Agilent Technology Singapore illustrated the increasing demand for
professionals equipped with AI and digital skills The session further explored the critical role of
AI in clinical trials where it enhances patient recruitment monitoring and data analysis
ultimately reducing trial timelines and improving success rates The concept of in silico medicine
was discussed as a transformative approach in drug development enabling computerbased
simulations to predict drug interactions toxicity and efficacy thus significantly reducing research
time and experimental workload
Additionally AIdriven diagnostic systems were highlighted for their ability to analyze large
datasets for early and accurate disease detection while its role in personalized medicine was
underscored through the design of individualized treatment strategies based on patientspecific
data The talk also addressed advancements in digital therapeutics and virtual healthcare including
remote monitoring and AIsupported treatment platforms that enhance patient accessibility and
care continuity Finally the application of AI in detecting retinal disorders radiotherapy Drug
Discovery and other major diseases such as cancer cardiovascular diabetes and neurological
conditions demonstrated its vast potential in improving diagnostic precision and clinical outcomes
The program witnessed enthusiastic participation of 155 attendees present during the session The
session concluded with an interactive questionandanswer segment during which students
