Accelerating Pharmaceutical Processing Innovation Through Artificial Intelligence

Thursday January 23, 2025 9:50am - 10:10am EST

With innovation in new modalities driving increased complexity in the pharmaceutical pipeline, there is increasingly urgent need to deliver speed, quality, cost-efficiency and improved environmental footprint in pharmaceutical manufacturing. CDMOs are innovating across a number of areas to deliver this transformation – including by employing artificial intelligence, bringing tangible use cases to a promising technology.

In this session, Mike Riley, CEO of Veranova and David Shrier, CEO and Co-Founder of Phorum AI, will discuss a novel collaboration between their companies and will discuss how innovations in AI can unlock the potential of great scientific teams to create exponential improvements - 10x or even 100x - in the efficiency of how pharmaceuticals are produced.
