Track 1: Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences

Biopharmaceutical Science includes the study of the drug discovery and their development, along with their properties, both physical and chemical. It also deals with the biological effects of drugs like onset and duration of action along with their intensity in the body. Biopharmaceutics help in calculating the bioavailability and therapeutic activity of the drugs in the body.

Biopharmaceutical science involves the creation of medical drugs by artificially growing some or all of their components. It is the pluridisciplinar background on the discovery phase of the drug development process, at the advanced level. This field includes the study of molecular mechanisms of disease, potential therapeutic targets and therapeutic strategies. The Session discusses recent trends in pharmaceutical research, in which increasing numbers of drugs are coming from large biopharmaceutical molecules. Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences session includes talks on diversified fields like Biopharmaceutics and drug disposition, Innovations in clinical development, Pharmaceutical technology, Drug discovery and design, Pharmaceutics and drug delivery, Routes of administration, Fundamental drug development and etc.

Another major topic in the pharmaceutical industry Biomarkers in which the recent Biomarker research, development, and technology, measurable parameters for customized therapies will be discussed. The biomarkers are distinguished into Disease-related biomarkers which give an indication of the probable effect of treatment on the patient and Drug-related biomarkers indicate whether a drug will be effective in a specific patient and how the patient’s body will process it. The recent advances and the future scope will be discussed in this global Pharma summit.

 

Track 2:  Pharmaceutical Sciences

Pharmaceutics is the study of relationships between per formulation, pharmaceutical formulation, delivery, disposition, and clinical response. The inherent instability nature of a new drug will alter its desired form into undesired form when presented in a suitable dosage form with the excipients upon storage. In early days this process was confined only for assessing few characteristics, but today this process is being considered as a formulation strategy and hence tremendous technological advancement has been achieved in this field which enables us to save time and money through planned management system and hence impacts. Use of glorious statistical software even based on artificial neural networking is made the task of pre-formulating and optimization process easier. With the increasing number of novel and specialized compounds being developed, a "one size fits all" approach to drug formulation and delivery is no longer optimal, necessitating the consideration of formulations unique to each drug.

 

Track 3:  Pharma Analytical Techniques and Instrumentation

Pharma Analytical Techniques are mainly important for manufacturing medicine. Validation process should be done in every technique. Analytical method development and validation, Analytical IQ, OQ, and PQ are to be known in the analysis of the pharmaceutical product.

Track 7:  Pharmaceutical Industry

The innovative Pharmaceutical industry in the United States produces chemically-derived drugs developed as a result of extensive R&D and Clinical trials in both humans and animals.  The innovator relies on patents and other forms of intellectual property rights to justify the investment required to bring a product to market (the U.S. patent term is 20 years).  Several large multinationals produce the majority of innovative pharmaceuticals globally, but they have come to rely more heavily on research performed by industry partners, including smaller, innovative manufacturers.  Pricing of innovative pharmaceuticals is designed to recapture R&D expenditures.

 

Track 8:  Industrial Pharmacy

Industrial pharmacy is a discipline which includes manufacturing, development, marketing and distribution of drug products including quality assurance of these activities. The reasons for the increase of large-scale manufacturing Economic – As the scale of manufacturing batches increases so, proportionally, does the cost of production decreases Accuracy – The larger the quantities of materials involved so, proportionally, is the accuracy of measurements increased.

 

Track 9:  Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology

Pharmaceutical nanotechnology has provided more fine-tuned diagnosis and focused treatment of disease at a molecular level. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology is the most innovative and highly specialized field, which will revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry in the near future. Pharmaceutical nanotechnology presents revolutionary opportunities to fight against many diseases. It helps in identifying the antigen associated with diseases such as cancer, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases, as well as detecting the microorganisms and viruses associated with infections. It is expected that in the next 10 years the market will be flooded with nanotechnology devised medicine.

Size reduction is a fundamental unit operation having important applications in pharmacy. It helps in improving solubility and bioavailability, reducing toxicity, enhancing release and providing better formulation opportunities for drugs. In most of the cases, size reduction is limited to the micron size range, for example, various pharmaceutical dosage forms like powder, emulsion, suspension etc. Drugs in the nanometre size range improve performance in a variety of dosage forms. Major advantages of Nanosizing include (i) increased surface area, (ii) enhanced solubility, (iii) increased rate of dissolution, (iv) increased oral bioavailability, (v) more rapid onset of therapeutic action, (vi) small amount of dose required, (vii) decreased fed/fasted variability, and (viii) decreased patient-to-patient variability.

Packaging is one of the biggest industry sectors in the world, worth several billion. Pharmaceutical packagingrepresents a meager percentage of this colossal market. The global healthcare industry has seen a shift in paradigm and is now skewed toward effective and meaningful packaging. Packaging was considered as an afterthought which was needed merely in the final stages of manufacturing for many pharmaceutical companies about a decade ago. But of late, pharmaceutical packaging has quickly become an essential part of the drug delivery system as well as a core element of the marketing mix, through which manufacturers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors. As drug manufacturers approach the 21st century, they face a number of challenges that packaging can help them meet. The demand for pharmaceutical packaging is increasing and will continue to increase as companies rely more on packaging and labeling as media to protect and promote their products, increase patient compliance, and meet new regulations.
