Sustainability and innovation in the complex combination therapy sector

Sustainability and innovation in the complex combination therapy sector

The patient and commercial benefits of bringing new drugs to market in the shortest possible time are well recognised; potential methodologies to reduce the development cycle and accelerate drug product approvals are constantly being explored. As a result, other targets, including the environmental efficacy of a therapy, have traditionally been a distant, secondary objective. Bespak's Jay Bhogaita, Business Director, reports
Delivering certainty in uncertain times

Delivering certainty in uncertain times

Contract manufacturing organisations (CMOs) in the pharmaceutical sector operate at the sharp end of an industry in which one mistake or delay could be serious or even fatal. Rodney Steel, CEO of the British Contract Manufacturers and Packers Association (BCMPA), discovers how CMOs have become experts in predicting the future, ensuring that nothing is left to chance
Service in times of bits and bytes

Service in times of bits and bytes

Whoever talks to the service experts at Syntegon Technology, formerly Bosch Packaging Technology, communicates both digitally and globally. The shift from analogue to bits and bytes has not only changed communication between service employees and customers. In the course of digitisation, the company has modernised and expanded its entire service portfolio — and has reinvented itself to a certain extent
How AI will disrupt drug development

How AI will disrupt drug development

In the last 4–6 years, companies have been experimenting with new approaches that utilise the latest in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies to identify new molecules and validate new drugs faster and more efficiently. Egor Kobelev, VP of Healthcare and Life Sciences at DataArt, examines some of the ways these breakthroughs are transforming drug discovery
Opening the aperture: taking a wider view of the inhalables market

Opening the aperture: taking a wider view of the inhalables market

With a new company strategy in place and a combined focus on both drug and device development, Dr Kevin Robinson spoke to Vectura’s new CEO and Executive Director, Will Downie, about the current and future market for inhaled therapies
Rethinking HPLC degassing with novel flat film technology

Rethinking HPLC degassing with novel flat film technology

During the first three decades of liquid chromatography (LC) use, outgassing in the mobile phase was a key challenge in routine LC workflows. However, since the emergence of online degassers in the 1970s, these devices have become an ordinary component of most LC systems and, therefore, their development is often overlooked

    From stockpiles to smart supply chains: how industry wants to fix Europe’s drug shortages An EU-level stockpile may work, but only if it’s flexible, closely monitored and built with logistics in mind. Industry players say drug security will depend less on volume and more on data, digital oversight and early collaboration throughout the supply chain
  2. A grandmaster’s approach to successful tableting Tableting is a fundamental unit operation in the production of pharmaceutical oral solid dosage forms. Despite its long history of use and the development of innovations such as extended dwell times, unique technologies that independently and simultaneously measure and control both tablet weight and hardness, and a weight control system that provides increased sensitivity at lower forces, production problems still occur. Here, Dr Harald Stahl, Group Director, Application and Strategy Management, GEA, provides some troubleshooting tips from an unlikely source: the chess board
