Having spent 14 years building out its capacity, Regeneron Genetics Center—the genomic research branch of the Tarrytown, New York-based pharma—is a pro when it comes to the sort of target validation work central to the field today. Now, as RGC continues the massive expansion of its genetic database, the center’s unique ability to interpret that trove of data could give it an edge in the age of AI-powered drug development.

In this week’s episode of "The Top Line," Fierce’s Fraiser Kansteiner sits down with Andy Deubler, chief business and administrative officer at Regeneron Genetics Center, to discuss the role RGC plays in the larger Regeneron model, as well as where the center could be headed as drug development pushes into new technological frontiers. Aside from the data interpretation advantage RGC believes it holds in the AI era, Deubler also discusses how the unit’s ongoing genetic research has helped deliver recent breakthroughs like the hearing loss gene therapy Otarmeni.
