Digital Formulation: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Medicines Manufacturing
Why digital formulation?
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.
Key benefits
Faster Timelines: Cut development time significantly while reducing the carbon footprint and emissions of traditional processes.
De-risked Development: A digital-first, cost-effective approach that minimizes lab work and iterative scale-up.
Efficient Manufacturing: Reduce waste, API loss, and solvent use during scale-up, enhancing sustainability.
