Nov 13 | The Medicine Accelerator Exchange: Practical Strategies for Tech-Driven CMC

Thursday, November 13, 2025

Workshop: 13:30 - 17:00
Networking Apéro: 17:00 - 18:00

Pullman Basel Hotel, Switzerland
Clarastrasse 43 · 4058 Basel

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

Registration & Coffee
Welcome and networking over refreshments

"Towards Insight-Driven Experimentation: Automating Model Development in Bioprocessing", Kallum Doyle, ME PhD, Research Fellow, Innovation

By automating data cleaning, processing, and model assembly, hybrid mechanistic–ML models become practical for cell culture. The result: real-time experiment interpretation and faster, more reliable bioprocess decisions.

“Engineering the Future of Synthetic Drug Substance Development”, Gary Morris, Principal Scientific Advisor, Small Molecule

Digital process design, automation, and continuous processing now work as a single system to deepen process understanding, compress development timelines, and scale robustly. Case studies show practical wins and how to get Pharma 4.0–ready.

“Digital Strategies leveraging iAchieve to Accelerate End-to-end Process Characterization”, Kallum Doyle, ME PhD, Research Fellow, Innovation

How a digital CMC ecosystem unified data and teams to complete full process characterization in 12 months - and the playbook, metrics, and lessons you can reuse.

"How AI & Digital Strategies are Accelerating CMC in Practice: Intro to iAchieve", Mark Walsh, Business Development Director

Explore how AI, data integration, and digital workflows are reshaping CMC, from faster process development to smarter, evidence-based decisions. This session introduces iAchieve®, a platform built to capture, contextualize, and apply CMC knowledge in real time, enabling teams to move from experimentation to scale with unprecedented speed and confidence.
