2025 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo: What We Will Discuss
In the video above, Abraham shares that one of the discussions he looks forward to most is the Global Regulatory Town Hall. This session will bring industry leaders together with senior leaders from health authorities to discuss challenging questions such as, “How will AI/machine learning be incorporated in delivering the next generation of medicines more efficiently and effectively to patients all around the world?”
“Another topic of great interest is decentralized manufacturing,” shares Abraham. This is an opportunity to hear from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agenda (MRHA), the regulatory body in the United Kingdom (UK) that is responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices are safe and effective for public use, on “how they came up with their model of manufacturing and supply and how they engaged with industry, academia, healthcare professionals, and international regulators to develop their framework.”
