2019

The Innovators

Meet two companies helping to advance pharmaceutical development and manufacture.

Technology Leads the Way

Can new tools lower the hurdle of high manufacturing costs for cell and gene therapies?

The Innovation Awards 2019

After a vibrant year of advances in pharmaceutical development and manufacturing technologies, we present The Medicine Maker 2019 Innovation Awards. From single-use bioreactors, to formulation prediction tools, to Industry 4.0 technologies, we celebrate the solutions that help manufacturers make better medicines.

Unprecedented Growth – and Challenges

Gene therapy is a rapidly-growing area in healthcare but, now the promise has been shown, we must focus on improving the manufacturing process and bring down costs

The Digital Age of Formulation and Support

The Best of the Best

Don’t forget to nominate pharma’s most talented individuals for the 2020 Power List!

A Conference Season’s Greeting

Glad tidings of progress and confidence this (conference) season! But let’s not dismiss the emerging skills challenge as “humbug.”

A British Success Story

The UK’s Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult has played a significant role in building the strong advanced therapy ecosystem in the UK – the largest outside the USA. Keith Thompson, CEO, explains how the Catapult has tackled the challenges of the field.

Keeping up with the Usain Bolt of Biotech

With many cell and gene therapies skipping phase III trials entirely, academics must get to grips with GMP early, while investors must consider manufacturing and process development as critical parts of a product’s profile

Stirring the Talent Pool

Cell and gene therapies have earned a high profile in recent years, but the field’s rate of growth has led to a gold rush on talent. Widespread training initiatives and a supply of experienced professionals are vital to keep the industry moving forward.
