Season 03: episode 02
This week, Marc and Helena are joined in the podcast studio by Pav Rishiraj, Director and Head of Pharmacovigilance at Ipsen, to shed some light on this often-overlooked field of pharma.
Pav discusses his career journey in pharmacovigilance and how, in his experience, the field has changed; the importance of pharmacovigilance as a strategic enabler within businesses; and the outlook for the future of the field in terms of AI and automation.
And, in a diversion from our usual ‘news you might have missed’ segment, Helena leads a tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, touching on the key GOLD Podcast theme of inspirational leadership.
