The pharmaceutical industry faces significant challenges in bringing new drugs to market due to the complexities of the R&D process. These challenges include high costs, lengthy development timelines, and a low success rate. In response to these challenges, a new approach to R&D has emerged: R&D 4.0.

 

R&D 4.0 leverages advanced technologies such as Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing; among others, to streamline the drug development process and reduce time-to-market. In this webinar, join Procaps Group to explore the role of these technologies to improve the pharmaceutical development process. We will showcase real- world case studies performed, including the utilization of three-dimensional printing technology in the development of complex and customized drug delivery systems. Additionally, we will discuss how Deep Learning algorithms can estimate moisture levels in gelatin mass at different stages of the manufacturing process using spectral data. This approach provides real-time data to optimize the production process and ensure consistent quality. Furthermore, we will explain how Machine Learning algorithms, specifically the Pearson correlation coefficient, are being used to analyse the interaction of different excipients in drug formulations. This analysis helps in optimizing drug formulations to improve stability and efficacy. Explore with Procaps Group the exciting potential of R&D 4.0 as a leading Softgel CDMO/CMO.
