For this report, sponsored by Posit, eWEEK interviewed Posit life sciences experts and reviewed recent industry research. You’ll learn about:

  • Rework at the handoffs between SAS, R, and Python teams
  • Reproducibility under 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11, and ALCOA+
  • Generative AI in clinical programming, with a programmer reviewing the output
  • The move from team-built environments to standardized platforms

eWEEK wrote the report for biostatistics, clinical programming, and data science leads at pharma, biotech, and CRO organizations, and for the IT and compliance teams that support them.
