Fast Lab connects decisions on science and technology to the lab design, cost, programme, and key business metrics.

The podcast emphasises the shift towards process intensification and automation as solutions to the challenges faced by traditional manufacturing.These innovations promise to deliver lean and agile manufacturing, reducing waste, improving quality, and enabling the production of more complex molecules more efficiently.. 4.

The future of pharmaceutical manufacturing:.A significant focus is on the concept of miniaturisation and continuous processing as part of a new paradigm in drug manufacturing.This approach not only reduces the environmental footprint and costs but also enhances safety and quality by enabling smaller, more controlled, and flexible production processes.. 5.

Barriers and opportunities for change:.Finally, Adrian discusses the systemic and regulatory barriers to adopting these new manufacturing technologies but also highlights the compelling need for change driven by the demand for affordable, sustainable medicines.

He advocates for embracing these new technologies to overcome current limitations and transform pharmaceutical manufacturing..

The podcast emphasises the urgent need for innovation in pharmaceutical manufacturing to address current challenges and future demands.Last year saw the completion of The Forge in London – the world’s first major commercial building constructed using a platforms approach to DfMA (P-DfMA).And we're becoming more of a global economy as well, so they're seeing examples.”.

These days she’s starting to see “masses of the big players change their behaviour.”.She’s as excited for them as she is for architects.. Marks recalls that while talking to the Head of VD&C for a large company, she was impressed with the work and incredible technology going into a two-billion-dollar hospital project.

At the end of the presentation, she asked, “how much of this can you use for the next project?”.The answer: “None of it.”.
