In this episode of From Models to Medicine, we sit down with Sal Tejani, Associate Director for Field Medical Affairs at Regeneron*, who started his career catching dangerous prescription errors at CVS and never lost the instinct for finding the lever that actually moves things. Today that instinct is pointed squarely at AI; how to use it, when to trust it, and when it will absolutely get you into trouble.

Sal gives us an honest, practitioner-level view of what AI looks like inside a major pharma company: the tools that are actually useful, the guardrails that are non-negotiable, and the human judgment that no model has figured out how to replace yet. Plus, he closes with a personal story that reframes the whole conversation about why any of this actually matters.
