"Nexus provides an ideal platform to explore how data and AI can deliver transformative value across different industries" - Zara Ghazoui

At the intersection of AI, data strategy, and life sciences lies a powerful opportunity to transform how we diagnose, treat, and even prevent disease. As the next technological paradigm takes shape, the healthcare sector stands to benefit from predictive, personalized, and data-driven breakthroughs.

Joining us for the panel “Beyond AI: Exploring the Frontiers of the Next Technological Paradigm”, Zara Ghazoui, Director of Data Strategy, Data Science and AI at AstraZeneca, will share how the convergence of genomics, real-time data, and AI is shaping a new vision for medicine.

1. What inspired you to join Nexus Luxembourg for its second edition?

What inspired me to join Nexus Luxembourg 2025 as a speaker is its unique convergence of AI, technology, and global business in a setting designed for real dialogue and meaningful collaboration. With its focus on innovation in both the public and private sectors, Nexus provides an ideal platform to explore how data and AI can deliver transformative value across different industries including healthcare, life sciences.

2. What’s one tech prediction for the future that sounds crazy, but you believe in?

The routine use of AI-powered personalised medicine that constantly adapts in real time, using data from your genes, wearables, and other sensors to customise treatments and even prevent illness before you feel sick. It might sound like science fiction,  but with how fast genomics and AI are advancing, I think this kind of proactive healthcare is just around the corner.

3. What’s one thing tech still hasn’t fixed that it should have by now?

Tech still has not fully solved seamless and secure data interoperability and sharing in healthcare. Addressing this issue is key to better treatments and faster breakthroughs.

4. If AI could help with one everyday task, what should it be?

   
   

If AI could tackle one thing every day in healthcare, it should be cutting the paperwork for doctors and nurses. Less admin, more patient care.  That would be a game changer.
