Dr Joachim Schwarz
Abstract Predictive Modelling in the field of Customer Relationship Management
The webinar focusses on one main problem of every customer relationship management department: How to identify those customers, which are more likely to e.g. terminate their customer relationship or to buy a new product? One way to solve this is predictive modelling. We will have a look on typical data a company has about their customers, and how it can be used to develop a model to predict a specific customer behaviour. A special focus will be laid on limitations of this approach and, last but not least, its specific potential to generate or to save money.

Abstract
Moving from R&D to Sales and Marketing: the business analytics experience of a statistician at Lilly Typically, pharmaceutical companies invest more money on sales and marketing than they do on R&D, yet very few statisticians work to support sales and marketing organizations. At Lilly, we created a group of statisticians to support analytical problems in Sales and Marketing. This talk will describe the types of issues we encounter and the statistical techniques we use to tackle these issues.

Abstract
Looking over the fence: What does Data Science mean outside of life sciences and what can we learn? The last 10 years have seen significant growth in companies investing in Big Data, Data Science, Machine Learning and AI. The key driver for organisations investing in these initiatives is to generate insight from data that can be used to drive better decision making. However, as each industry has different aims and constraints, the adoption of data-driven approaches can vary significantly.
This presentation will look at core concepts of data science, such as the 3 Vs of data, and how different industries have looked to implement these concepts. In particular, we will look at possible opportunities for the pharmaceutical sector to adapt successful approaches from other industries.
About the Presenter
Richard Pugh is Chief Data Scientist and co-Founder of Mango Solutions, a Data Science consulting company specialised in the pharmaceutical industry. Richard studied Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Bath before working as a biostatistician within the life sciences industry. Richard then joined Insightful, working as a Consultant across many industries around the application of statistical methods using the S-PLUS software product. In 2002, Richard co-founded Mango Solutions to focus on the application of analytics to solve business challenges using technologies such as SAS, S-PLUS and R. Richard is heavily involved in the R community, co-authoring the book “R in 24 Hours”, and was the first President of the R Consortium. Richard is an active member of the committee of the RSS Data Science Section. Today, Richard spends much of his time advising clients across a variety of industries on data-driven approaches, and is a regular speaker at analytic conferences.

PSI Webinar: Development of Gene Therapies: Strategic, Scientific, Regulatory and Access Considerations
This webinar will cover the history of cell/gene therapy, major regulatory advances, the role of quantitative scientists in drug development of these novel therapeutics, and discuss opportunities for innovation and product advancement.
Joint PSI/EFSPI Visualisation SIG 'Wonderful Wednesday' Webinars
Our monthly webinar explores examples of innovative data visualisations relevant to our day to day work. Each month a new dataset is provided from a clinical trial or other relevant example, and participants are invited to submit a graphic that communicates interesting and relevant characteristics of the data.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
PSI Introduction to Industry Training (ITIT) Course - 2024/2025
An introductory course giving an overview of the pharmaceutical industry and the drug development process as a whole, aimed at those with 1-3 years' experience. It comprises of six 2-day sessions covering a range of topics including Research and Development, Toxicology, Data Management and the Role of a CRO, Clinical Trials, Reimbursement, and Marketing.
PSI Training Course: Regulatory Guidelines for Statisticians
This 2-day course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory guidelines affecting statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry, including the latest updates in the field. The course will cover key International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines and other key regional regulatory agency documents.
In this event, we’ll start with a general introduction to hierarchical composite endpoints and an overview of common analysis methods including win ratio, win odds, and net benefit. Then, the practical considerations will be illustrated through case studies from clinical trials in heart failure and chronic kidney disease. We conclude with a discussion and a Q&A.
Joint PSI/EFSPI Pre-Clinical SIG Webinar: Virtual Control Groups in Toxicity Studies
Lea Vaas will present how replacement of concurrent control animals by Virtual Control Groups (VCGs) in systemic toxicity studies may help in contributing to the 3R's principle of animal experimentation: Reduce, Refine, Replace.
This networking event is aimed at statisticians that are new to the pharmaceutical industry who wish to meet colleagues from different companies and backgrounds.
