The pharmaceutical industry is under growing pressure from patent expirations of major drugs, cost-constrained health care systems, and a demanding regulatory environment. A focus for the industry is to tackle these challenges while increasing the output and quality of cost-effective, new medicines without incurring unsustainable R&D cost. Through new technology and new approaches there is an aspiration to make such improvements while also bringing ever-improved therapeutics to patients faster. In this conference, we will lay out many of the challenges the industry is facing and explore potential solutions coming from academic research and startup endeavors, from early discovery through manufacturing technologies, to clinical studies and beyond.
Collecting, keeping and using data securely, efficiently and cost-effectively has been a challenge for companies across all industries as the amount of data skyrockets and advances in data science struggle to keep pace. This webinar will present talks from two MIT faculty and 3 MIT-connected startups on a variety of topics related to data management. These will include an introduction and overview of the Modern Data Stack, a radically new approach to data integration that saves time; introduction to already commercialized new tools for reducing the cost of compliance, automatic reconfiguration, and rescheduling big data; using ML to partition the cloud which is faster, cheaper and allows for optimization; and generating clean, curated, and enriched customer data.
In recent years, quantum sensing has become a distinct and rapidly growing branch within quantum science and technology. Quantum sensing offers great potential for high sensitivity and precision sensors in many fields, such as metrology, imaging, healthcare, material, and energy. In this webinar, you will learn the latest developments in quantum sensing research from leading MIT faculty, as well as meet MIT Startup Exchange entrepreneurs whose companies have been developing some of the most innovative quantum sensing applications.
This webinar will discuss insights that are important to build resilient and efficient supply chains under uncertain environments. Speakers will elaborate on how understanding business characteristics, and using quantitative approaches may help mapping leverage points, understanding challenges and gaining flexibility in supply chains. Attendees will learn innovative strategies to support their decision-making processes to create proactive, adaptable business models through the use of data analytics while reducing costs and expanding their market share without compromising their long-term financial sustainability.
The chemical industry is increasingly leveraging artificial Intelligence in their quest for new synthetic routes and chemical structures used in a wide variety of applications including: building materials, packaging, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products. While past efforts focused on optimizing time and cost of producing materials, growing environmental concerns, and new legislation lead manufacturers to address the environmental impact and sustainability of their products. In this webinar we present research on, and application of, computer-assisted technologies to assist researchers and corporate R&D scientists and engineers in identifying and leveraging environmentally friendly chemistry and materials.
