Symposium C3
Manufacturing Concepts for Individualised Therapies
Tuesday 23 May 2017
15:00-18:00
Stockholmsmässan : K11
Introduction:
Recent breakthroughs in diagnostics, including genotyping and biomarkers, have paved the way towards implementation of ‘precision medicine’ intended to meet the therapeutic needs of each individual patient. To fully achieve societal benefits of individualised therapies, conventional manufacturing platforms must be adapted for mass customization. This session will focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with enabling future mass customized formulation and manufacturing technologies needed for precision pharmaceutics.
Chair: Staffan Folestad (Sweden)
