Laboratories of the Future
Royal Society of Chemistry, London
The embedding of Industry 4.0 practices within the pharmaceutical industry boosted and accelerated pharmaceutical development: manufacturing, product development and testing have all benefited from the many advancements in the fields of automation, robotics, big data and machine learning. This symposium will feature highlights from industry experts and vendors on trends and case studies showing how industry has adopted (or is considering) new digital and hardware tools to boost efficiency and sustainability in the pharmaceutical laboratories of the future.

Talks will feature a range of topics including:

- Evolution of pharmaceutical processes from industry 1.0 to 4.0
- Virtual reality and artificial intelligence in chemistry laboratories
- Automation of sample preparation
- Predictive modelling of qSAR
- Chemometrics for spectral data analysis
- Chemometrics for metabolomics workflow
- Pharmaceutical forensics

Additionally, we would like to open a call for poster abstracts related to these themes.

Poster submissions are welcome for new or previously presented work and should be submitted by June 20th via events@jpag.org. Abstracts will be reviewed upon submission and authors will be notified by email if their abstract has been accepted or, if revisions are required, feedback will be provided. Authors will be expected to address any feedback / recommendations and conditions of acceptance prior to final submission.
