The Life Sciences Catalyst

Deloitte has recently undertaken a major study of 25,000 workers in the UK to understand the current state of GenAI adoption: who is using it, how, why, and with what impact. The research also reveals shadow usage, inequalities, governance and risk challenges, and the gap that can exist between workforce experience and leadership perception.

We will be hosting a launch event from 5.00pm on Wednesday 16 September in the Cambridge Deloitte office focusing on the Cambridgeshire and East Anglian areas.

If you are interested in attending, please email our team.

In May 2026, we hosted a webinar on the latest insight for Measuring the return from pharmaceutical innovation - Navigating the GLP-1 boom. Participants evaluated the key drivers of R&D productivity and identified strategies to consider when improving portfolio resilience and long-term innovation returns.

We were delighted to host a networking evening in March 2026 in the Paula Browne House, following the She Steers, NEDs in Biotech Launch Event, which took place at Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge.

The evening ensured the opportunity to engage with leaders who are shaping the future of board representation in the sector, as well as creating other meaningful connections and having insightful discussions.

Deloitte recently sponsored the Leaders in Life Sciences - Community & Innovation Symposium 2025.

The exclusive event which took place at the end of October in Cambridge UK, brought together leading figures in the life sciences industry to explore the latest advancements and challenges.

The event explored how emerging AI technologies, including GenAI, can drive breakthroughs in drug discovery, operational efficiency, and personalized medicine, while fostering ethical and responsible AI deployment.
