development of a new pharmaceutical productMillions of compounds are typically screened for pharmacological benefits. about 100 discovery approaches enter the research funnel each year. during research candidates are eliminated for various reasons, sometimes based on very limited knowledge. the decision which candidate to bring into clinical development is a crucial and often it is a true dilemma.

in this workshop you will be member of an executive development decision board. you will have to apply decision criteria, to assess and mitigate risks. you will be presented cases in which you will need to assess technical feasi-bility, clinical benefits and market situation. a special role will play the development of biotechnologically derived new medicines, especially bio-similars.

the study fields that suit a workshop best are marked in orange above the workshop description.

optimierung der Prozesse und herstellkostenin der vergangenheit kamen in den Me-dikamenten relativ einfache wirkstoffe zum Einsatz. diese wurden in grossen Mengen produziert und zielten auf vielfaltige anwendungsgebiete. heutige Medikamente fokussieren auf spezi-fische anwendungsgebiete und werden in viel kleineren serien hergestellt. in diesem workshop erarbeitest du ideen, wie ein internationales Phar ma-unternehmen im spannungsfeld zwischen steigenden anforderungen (Qualität, Gesundheit, sicherheit, umwelt) und anhaltendem kostendruck erfolgreich agieren kann. der fokus soll dabei auf der optimierung der Pro-zesse und herstellkosten liegen, ohne Qualitätsrisiken einzugehen oder internationale standards zu verletzen.

analytik in der forschung und Entwicklungin immer mehr Branchen im Bau und der industrie werden die anforderungen an einzelne Materialien und vor allem an deren werkstoffverbundsysteme immer höher. um den wachsenden ansprüchen gerecht zu werden, existiert im sika konzern eine sehr gute Zusammenarbeit zwischen der for-schung und Entwicklung, Qualitäts- sicherung, Produktion und analytik.

in diesem workshop wirst du anhand eines praxisnahen Beispiels einer typi-schen Problemstellung aus dem Bau-Bereich einen Einblick in die analyti-sche arbeitsweise erhalten. die sika Experten werden hierfür eine Einfüh-rung in die analytischen Methoden ge-ben und zusammen mit dir eine Prob-lemlösung erarbeiten. das Ziel des workshops ist die verknüpfung analy-tischer Messergebnisse zur lösungs-findung für ein gegebenes Problem, wie bei csi.
