42. Automation Cuts Drug Development To 5 Years 7/7/2017

    Automation’s advances and widespread integration into the scientific workflow can reduce drug R&D time from the usual 15 years to five, according to a study released by Frost & Sullivan. “Robotics already is meeting most relevant needs in drug discovery. Its impact in the coming few years will be remarkable,” says Cecilia Van Cauwenberghe, associate fellow and industry analyst, TechVision at Frost & Sullivan. “Robotics will make pharmaceutical processes significantly more costand time-effective and allow precise, real-time documentation of every task. That, in turn, contributes to process optimization.”
