The Medicine Accelerator Exchange: Practical Strategies for Tech-Driven CMC

Wednesday, September 17, 2025
Workshop from 2-5pm & Networking Event from 5-6pm

California Life Sciences Facility, San Diego, CA

Leveraging digital innovation is no longer optional—it's essential.

This event brings together pharma innovators to discuss real-world applications of digital tools in drug development and manufacturing. Explore how advanced process solutions—such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), data analytics, and Process Analytical Technology (PAT)—can address key CMC challenges. The session will also highlight how targeted, high-impact initiatives can enhance process performance and strengthen global competitiveness.

This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with industry peers, share challenges, and walk away with actionable strategies to optimize processes, improve regulatory compliance, and deliver life-changing therapies—faster and more efficiently.

Agenda

Designed for senior pharma professionals, this event includes case studies and presentation by subject matter experts, with topics including:

“From Crystallization to Compression: Leveraging Co-Processing to Improve Powder Flow in API Development”, Emily Noël, Associate CMC Specialist - Discover how co-processing integrating crystallization & excipient engineering can improve powder flow and streamline drug product development

"Accelerating ATMP Development: From Lab to GMP in Under 12 Months" , Iseult Mossop, Head of CMC - Learn how to integrate technical and CMC excellence to speed up development timelines.

“Digital Strategies leveraging iAchieve to Accelerate End-to-end Process Characterization”, Rory Vignoles, Senior Process Development Engineer - Discover how iAchieve® enabled full process characterization in 12 months through digital integration, team alignment, and smarter CMC decisions.

“From Laboratory Chemistry to Scalable Synthesis: A Data-Driven Workflow for Streamlining Early-Phase Development of Multistep Routes”, Ger Reid, Senior Process Development Scientist - This session presents an integrated workflow designed to streamline process development, integrating batch and flow chemistry to accelerate development timelines and enhance process control.

"Engineer. Model. Simulate. Optimize: Better Pharma Processes Through Digital Innovation" - Digital tools are transforming pharma engineering. Learn how modeling, simulation, analytics, and PAT boost development speed, quality, and compliance through real-world case studies.

A networking event will take place at the same venue, once the presentations are complete!
