Welcome to episode 445 of the AI in Action podcast, the show where we break down the hype and explore the impact that Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are making on our everyday lives.

Powered by Alldus International, our goal is to share with you the insights of technologists and data science enthusiasts to showcase the excellent work that is being done within AI in North America and Europe.

Today’s guest is Franck Rapaport, Director of Precision Medicine, Computational Biology and Data Science at Sanofi. Sanofi are an innovative global healthcare company, driven by one purpose: to chase the miracles of science to improve people’s lives. Their teams across the world strive to transform the practice of medicine, turning the impossible into the possible for patients. They provide potentially life-changing treatments and the protection of life-saving vaccines to millions of people, and affordable access to their medicines in some of the world’s poorest countries.

Franck joined Sanofi in May 2021 and became the lead of the Precision Medicine and Computational Biology Data Science lab in July 2022. His team applies machine learning to advance precision medicine and finds new treatment options for immunological, inflammatory, and neurological diseases. Previously, Franck’s interest in computational biology led him to Institut Curie and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center where he designed and implemented new computational methods for the analysis of expression and copy number data.

In the episode, Franck will talk about:

Their mission and work in the pharma sector
