Can data science help you to make a better pharmaceutical product?

DRA symposium

Designing a pharmaceutical product is often driven by experimental work. Recent development of computer performance has opened up new opportunities for utilizing data science as a part of drug development. Machine learning can be utilized for extracting relevant knowledge from experimental work pointing towards the ideal formulation strategy. Including the key elements of data based on wearable point-of-care devices can open up a totally new dimension for treating a patient. All this requires selection of a right data science approach. This symposium is providing practical examples and an overview of the use of data science as a part of pharmaceutical product design.
