Where technology creates value for Pharma R&D

Recent PRISME Forum Technical Meetings have focused on initiatives relevant to the value of data, artificial intelligence, and “digital”. The Fall 2019 PRISME Forum Technical Meeting will concentrate on technology initiatives which clearly create value from a Pharma R&D perspective.

Creating value can come in at least three different forms. In particular, by means of technology:

1) improving efficiency and/or effectiveness of R&D processes, which leads to lower costs for R&D
2) enabling a faster time-to-market, which enables R&D assets to generate revenues sooner
3) creating new streams of revenue
4) Timely response to new scientific innovations

The contributions that IT and Digital can make to address these needs in Research, non-Clinical Development (including CMC) and the Development domains, will be explored.

This could include information on how IT would be involved in new research modalities (such as CRISPR-Cas9, CAR-T, PROTACs, the Microbiome and anti-bacterial phage engineering). In non-clinical development, Stem Cell Toxicology could offer significant advantages in terms of quality, speed, cost and ethics. “Digital” and AI may offer significant opportunities in all these areas of value creation mentioned above.

The PRISME Forum Technical Meeting Advisory Committee (see table below) is seeking contributions (e.g. plenary presentations, start-up company ‘pitches’, poster presentations, panelists, etc.) from any person or company with an informed and experienced contribution to make in is area.
