(480c) Current Trends and Opportunities in Pharmaceutical R&D

The pharmaceutical R&D pipeline has rapidly evolved over the last decade. Focus on development of new modalities for advanced therapies and challenges with complex drug candidates has driven adoption of novel concepts and technologies in pharmaceutical development. Innovation is key to reduce development costs and shorten time to market. Automation, predictive modeling via first principles and AI-ML are becoming increasingly important in the discovery and development of patient-centric medicines. This presentation will provide an overview of current opportunities and the application of these tools to drive pharmaceutical R&D.
