2024 BioMAN Summit
Artificial Intelligence(AI); including techniques such as machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and natural language processing (NLP); has the potential to transform the way biologic medicines are manufactured. FDA reported that in 2021 alone, over 100 new drug and biologic license application submissions contained the use of AI and ML, with the areas of AI/ML applications panning the entire product development pipeline, from drug development to post-market surveillance. While FDA continues to develop the regulatory framework for using AI in biomanufacturing, industry must itself prepare their organizations to take advantage of the opportunities presented by these new tools.
As AI applications become more common in biological drug manufacturing, it will also be critically important to ensure that this new technology is being applied correctly by a well-trained workforce, especially as it is used in novel indications.
MIT’s Center for Biomedical Innovation will host the 2024 BioMAN Summit, which brings together thought leaders from industry, academia, and government for a series of invited presentations to investigate:
Application
How are AI and its associated techniques currently being used in biomanufacturing?
Challenges
What have been the main challenges to implementing AI and ML, and how has the industry overcome them?
Future
What are the most promising future applications of AI in biomanufacturing in both the near and long terms?
Workforce
How can the industry ensure there is a well-trained AI workforce that is integrated into manufacturing operations?
Regulation
How are regulatory and industry bodies supporting AI in biomanufacturing and what opportunities remain for increased cooperation?
