SUMMARY:IN-PERSON EVENT: Digital Formulation: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Medicines Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:          \n​Medicine formulation development and manufacturing before clinical trials is a major source of inefficiency and waste in the pharmaceutical pipeline. It often takes months or years to develop and scale up formulations\, with unpredictable product performance leading to stability or clinical bioavailability failures. ​Advances in digital molecular modeling\, AI/ML tools\, mechanistic pharmacokinetic modeling\, and advanced analytics now offer a unique chance to transform this process. By harnessing expertise across industry\, research\, and academia\, we can create an end-to-end digital formulation capability to design\, predict\, and maximize clinical success. \n​Be part of a one-day interactive workshop where you’ll: \n\n​Connect with leading scientists\, industry experts\, and decision-makers.\n​Explore the latest advancements in digital formulation.\n​Help build a UK consortium to drive innovation in sustainable medicine manufacturing!\n\n​Who should attend? \n​This event is aimed at professionals across the supply chain\, including Formulation scientists (innovator\, generic\, or specialty pharma)\, Process scientists and CDMOs/CROs\, Regulatory and QC/QA experts\, Digital modeling specialists (AI/ML/physical & atomistic)\, and Sustainability leaders and Net-Zero champions \n​Goals and objectives \n​To identify knowledge gaps in sustainable formulation development to drive new innovation\, explore cutting-edge solutions\, and forge a powerful consortium to lead the digital transformation of formulation and manufacturing. The goal is to move beyond legacy systems and traditional DOE models to a digitally led\, efficient\, and sustainable process for medicine formulation and manufacturing. \n​Interactive Workshops (Round table discussions) \n​To maximize your experience\, guests may select one of the following workshops to attend: \n​1. Unlocking Value in Pharmaceutical Formulation and Manufacturing Supply-Chain Through Sustainable Innovation \n​This workshop will explore how digital innovations can be integrated across the entire pharmaceutical supply chain. We’ll delve into interactive discussions around how pharmaceutical value can be generated while developing new sustainable processes to reduce waste\, optimize resource utilization\, and minimize environmental impact. \n​2. Innovation in Digital Formulation and Modelling Approaches to Drive Sustainability \n​Discover how digital tools and modeling techniques are revolutionizing formulation development. This workshop will focus on leveraging physics-based molecular modeling workflows and advances in AI/ML to design sustainable formulations\, predict performance\, and optimize manufacturing processes for minimal environmental footprint. \n​3. Advances in Analytics\, Measurements\, and Data to Achieve Sustainability Goals \n​This workshop will examine the crucial role of environmentally friendly analytical tools\, data/measurement advances\, and process analytics in driving sustainable practices in formulation development and manufacturing. \n​Collaborate to shape the future of digital formulation \n​Throughout the event\, dedicated collaboration zones will provide opportunities for networking and in-depth discussions. You can book partnering meetings with consortium members (MESOX\, National Physical Laboratory\, Aston University) to explore potential collaboration opportunities and bring your expertise to advance the digitization of pharmaceutical product development across the supply chain. \nTo read more information and register your place\, please click here.
