Between 9 - 12 April 2024, the world’s leading trade fair analytica will once again open its doors in Munich to the international laboratory industry. At analytica, industry experts, exhibitors and visitors gather to explore the latest developments in laboratory technology, analysis and biotechnology. The fair, covering the entire spectrum…
Designing systems for delivery of biologics is often a significant challenge during clinical development. Here, Dave Li, Edyta Działo and Anna Baran of KCR Consulting highlight the need for balancing safety, effectiveness, cost and reducing patient discomfort.
The pharma industry’s adaptation to Industry 4.0 has been slow, due to the extensive regulatory requirements imposed on manufacturers. However, regulatory agencies are starting to embrace movement towards more rapid/automated systems, as illustrated in the revised EU GMP Annex 1, which entered into force in August. Here, Isabella Jul-Jørgensen from the Technical…
An osteoporosis study has demonstrated a high delivery success rate for a breakthrough technology that converts injections into an oral pill, data from ENDO 2023 showed.
Referencing Annex 1–2022, a paper has described how automation will be implemented in aseptic environments in view of regulatory requirements.
A paper has discussed a laboratory automation plug & play (LAPP) framework, of which a digital twin layer plays an important part.
Between 2023 to 2033, automation in the biopharma industry will be driven by solutions such as robotics and AI, a market report shows.
MIT researchers have developed a robotic capsule that tunnels through mucus in the GI tract to deliver large oral protein-based drugs like insulin.
Korean researchers developed ground-breaking new technology that manufactured biodegradable microrobots intended for targeted precision therapies at a rate of 100 per minute.
The magnetic millirobots can climb slopes, move against fluid flow and precisely deliver drugs to neural tissue, a new study demonstrates.
EPR’s Hannah Balfour summarises a market research report exploring trends in the pharmaceutical robot market between 2021 and 2028.
Nanobots have the capacity to precisely release drugs in the body for targeted delivery. Victoria Rees investigates several new developments in the nanobot field, to discover recent advances and how nanobot drug delivery systems may continue to evolve.
Included in this in-depth focus are features on recombinant albumin as a versatile stabiliser and how nanobots will evolve as an effective drug delivery technique.
Drones that transport medicines to emergency situations, urban environments or geographically-challenging locations are increasingly being utilised to improve delivery, however, there are few studies on their impact on drug stability. Here, Paul Royall and Patrick Courtney explore the implications of drone delivery on the safety and quality of medicines.
Researchers have discovered that pharma companies see the most need to invest in data protection and cybersecurity over other technologies.
