We are excited to announce that Appsilon and Sanofi will take up the remaining two open council seats on the pharmaverse council!

Appsilon will on the council be represented by Damian Rodziewicz and Sanofi by Andre Couturier.

Appsilon and Open Source

Appsilon is the maintainer of the rhino package already on the pharmaverse package roster, as well as having numerous employees contributing to pharmaverse in spaces such as TLG packages and our Examples site. Appsilon also powers the popular ShinyConf and are involved in the pilot submissions to FDA through the R consortium working group “R for submission”.

Sanofi and Open Source

Sanofi recently became a member of the R consortium and have in recent years invested heavily in the adoption of R internally. In line with the pharmaverse goal, Sanofi is committed to the adoption and further development of open source software in the pharma industry. This is evident through Sanofi’s contributions to falcon and riskmetric and their extension of the teal framework, which they are working towards open sourcing.

Becoming a member of the pharmaverse council means that the companies are committing to our charter and specifically:

“Commitment to at least 2 open source packages under pharmaverse via reviews, hands-on code development, product leads, or other roles which contribute to the design, development, testing, release, and/or maintenance”

Both companies will bring both deep technical knowledge and knowledge on R adoption into pharmaverse.

We are excited to further develop the open source eco-system for pharma!
