Inside the science of making medicines pure
Show Notes 💬 Artificial intelligence and big data are flooding discovery pipelines with high-potential drug candidates, but this rapid innovation has triggered significant challenges. Simply put, our capability to design miracle molecules is vastly outstripping our technology to mass-manufacture them safely for the global public. Moving drug making from the scale of lab flasks to commercial bioreactors introduces non-linear biological and engineering shifts that can undermine tasks like purification. ⚡In this New Scientist CoLab podcast, experts from global life sciences leader Cytiva explain the hidden, high-stakes science of purification that is required to close the gap between drug discovery and the pharmacy shelf. Our guests are: Henrik Ihre, Distinguished Fellow, Cytiva Paul Belcher, Business Leader, Cytiva 🎧 Stay tuned to learn about: ➡ The process of taking a drug from theoretical to the shop shelf ➡ How the drug purification works ➡ The human cost when purification goes wrong ➡ The challenges of keeping pace in manufacturing as AI supercharges drug discovery Chapters: (00:00) Intro - How drugs go from discovery to reality (03:49) The purification process (10:05) Why small scale success doesn't mean industrial scale success (13:00) The challenge of the expanding drug pipeline (21:39) Understanding the molecules that are being purified (23:20) What is a chromatography resin? (25:24) Why purification gets more difficult later in the process (27:15) The human impact when purification goes wrong (32:59) The future of AI drug discovery (37:52) Is AI helping with purification?
