I feel the need for speed

Coronavirus vaccines were developed at unprecedented speed. With growing expectations that drugs are made more quickly, how can we accelerate timelines?

Underpinning the Future of Healthcare with High Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence.

The need for a faster, more fluid research environment is driving the adoption of advanced computing technologies

Time-to-market, accelerated research programmes and quicker decision making are key criteria for pharmaceutical companies with a pipeline of novel products in development and the wider life science ecosystem. The adoption of AI and machine learning in healthcare, enhanced 3D genomics using graphic processing units (GPUs) and high-performance computing (HPC) is increasingly speeding up the drug discovery timeframe. But, how can we make this technology more accessible, what best practice can we learn from application – large and small today and how will it influence and drive forward the future of digitised healthcare?

Are you in or out?

While pharma outsourcing is still on the rise, the pandemic has led to near-shoring or activities being brought in-house to ensure milestones could be met. Where will we make our medicines in the future?

Genomics is Key

The past decade has seen genetically targeted therapies go from theory to practice, particularly in the field of oncology. Every new disease-causing gene discovered opens up a new line of attack on rare, intractable, and chronic diseases, but health systems risk multiple bottlenecks that might derail progress. While there are ethical, logistical, and scientific challenges to overcome, what might the potential opportunity be for genetically-characterised populations to accelerate research and care?
