Accelerate Product Release with New Developments in Bioprocessing
About this webinar
The global pandemic has put pressure on all areas of the drug discovery and development pipeline. Having experienced the effects of reduced on-site access, the urgency for pharmaceutical and biotech companies to implement digital tools and platforms to support R&D has never been higher. For such laboratory digitization to be successful, a cross-organizational effort is needed, but this is not always easy to initiate and coordinate.
This 45-minute panel discussion will focus on bioprocess development, and our panel of automation and bioprocessing experts from UCB Pharma, Digital Lab Consulting, and Synthace will share with you their lessons and recommendations from various stages of their digitization journeys.
Register for the webinar today to learn all about the following:
- Where and how to begin? Does digitization have to come from the top, or can you drive organizational change from the ground up?
- What areas in bioprocess development are more suitable for quick wins and what has already been achieved?
- How can the integration of laboratory automation and data be made easier to achieve?
- How do you balance driving changes to how scientists work against pressure to deliver in a fast-paced organization?
- How do you set time and resource expectations with your stakeholders?
Questions asked in the registration form and live questions on the day will also be covered.
Don’t miss this opportunity to interact directly with expert speakers to help you build on your own digitization strategies.
