With a massive revamp, the pharmaceutical industry is innovating and adapting to various technological drug discovery service trends. The new entrants in the pharmaceutical industry are making things simpler and highly advanced. The industry is experiencing innovations at a global level.

Below mentioned are 5 top innovations in Drug Discovery Services.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence and machine learning has boosted the drug discovery processes. AI is being accepted majorly by startups as a tool to explore and face the various challenges in the pharmaceutical industry. Drug discovery involves Patient Identification, which is a very crucial step. Artificial intelligence helps in easy identification of patients with the help of an eligibility criteria. Pangaea uses AI algorithms in order to identify similar patients for the process of drug discovery.

Flexibility in Production

The global pharmaceutical industry is working on finding ways and discovering technology to reduce the drug discovery time and increase the efficiency and productivity. With the invention of new types of bioreactor systems, the companies have been able to focus on biopharmaceuticals. The flexibility in production minimizes waste and uses low energy. Cellexus is a leading manufacturer of single use airlift bioreactor systems. The company’s own airlift technology uses bubbles instead of mechanical mixing to move cells and nutrients.

Precision Drugs

The need of treating every patient differently has given rise to precision medicine. The data analysis systems now provide data on how different bodies react to different drugs. The use of drug exposure models helps in identifying the various properties of drugs and arriving at the right dosage of drugs for a patient based on his parameters. ExactCure launched its software to check the effects of drugs in a patient’s body based on the personal parameters.

3D Printing

3D printing is steadily gaining traction in the field of medicine. Medical purposes such as knee implants and hip replacements and surgical tools are projected to increase the sales of the 3D printing materials. The doctors and surgeons are using printed models of surgical equipment used in performing complex surgical operations.

Large manufacturing companies are consistently trying to get back to their earlier positions and recover antecedent losses through the technological advancements and development of better 3D Printing of Medical Devices. Stratasys Ltd. announced the launch of three new 3D printing solutions- the F770, to print bigger for less, the Origin One, to print more parts with remarkable accuracy and breadth of materials and lastly, the H350, for production-scale 3D printing with complete control.

Real World Data

Real World Data is transforming the pharmaceutical industry. The real world data includes health and treatment records and health status of the patients. The pharmaceutical industry is conducting various R&D activities and digging deeper into drug discovery processes. Graticule is a startup working extensively on Real World Data.
