How Is AI Optimizing Different Aspects of FDA Submissions?

Image
The Department of Health and Human Services Regulatory agency is known as The Food and Drug Administration. The FDA is accountable for protecting and promoting public health through controlling and supervising food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, and medical devices. FDA approval is a must for any drug to be on the market. FDA plays a crucial role in reviewing drugs, medical devices, and biologics before it enters the market. The development of pharmaceuticals is a complex and lengthy process. Companies abide by the regulatory body’s guidelines for the effectiveness of the drugs, vaccines, biologics, and medical devices, for which FDA submission is essential and crucial in several steps. Nowadays, companies are leveraging artificial intelligence for effective and quick submissions. The FDA is also developing a new regulatory framework to promote inno

Overcoming The Challenges of CAR T-Cell Therapy Development

In today’s world, there is no scarier disease than cancer. Cancer is often considered deadly and untreatable, supported by the fact that cancer has been one of the crucial causes of mortality globally. In 2020, there were approximately 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. However, with Medicine, Biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical industry advancing rapidly, it is safe to say that not all cancers are deadly and untreatable. It is possible to get rid of cancer if diagnosed at the right time with various new and emerging Immunotherapies. Immunotherapy is a treatment technique for cancer that aids your immune system in fighting cancerous cells. There are multiple types of Immunotherapies used for cancer treatment, such as: ·          Immune checkpoint inhibitors: This treatment involves drugs that can block the immune checkpoints, thereby allowing the immune systems to function fully activated and more potent than usual. ·          Monoclonal antibodi

The Growing Use of Robotics in the Food Industry

Image
Over the last two decades, advances in different technological fields have turned ‘fictional’ robots into reality. The field of robotics falls under the umbrella of industrial automation. Due to the pressing need for increased efficiency, robots have been deployed to simplify activities. Robots are also becoming an essential component in many sectors. Previously, the application of robotics in the food industry was limited to food processing and palletizing in dairy, drinks, chocolates, and food tins. With the advancement compared to traditional methods, food manufacturing, and processing plants are using cost-effective automation solutions to increase production volume. Since relying on manual labor is now considered a classic principle, robotized handling/manufacturing installations are becoming more common. Picking, putting, packing, and palletizing are all examples of popular applications. Food industries are shifting towards automation to reduce food processing costs while incre

Cutting-edge DNA Technology in the Cosmetic Industry

Although it is often believed that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it has not stopped humans from spending over a thousand years trying to improve their appearance artificially. The quest for beauty has been recorded in literature, music, and art since Ancient Egypt and Sumer. Both women and men devote significant time and resources to choosing and applying the right combination of beauty products today, fuelling a massive and still-growing cosmetics industry. Cosmetologists have often tried to push the boundaries of traditional skincare practices and advance the methods and implementations of various beautifying and caring items. Since we are progressing in cutting-edge technology, the lines between industries such as biotechnology, cosmetics, and healthcare are blurring. Today’s technological breakthroughs will become tomorrow’s products, and we can now examine the real-world impact of these technologies on the cosmetics industry. Few such technologies being used actively in th

Medical Device Companies Can Meet The Increasing Demand For Improved Medical Equipment By Adopting IEBS-derived Strategic Solutions

Overview: The biomedical industry, an evolving healthcare industry segment, can phenomenally revolutionize the healthcare device market. With the significant technological developments in surgical devices, implants, bioprinting, imaging methods, and much more, the biomedical industry is bridging the gap between biological science, medicine, and engineering. Potential Opportunities Across Biomedical Industry: In an era of value-based delivery model, patients are now opting for treatments with minimally invasive procedures, which minimizes in-patient hospital stay and reduces healing time, thus reducing overall healthcare expenditure. For performing surgeries with the least incisions, such as pacemaker implantation, angioplasty, or smart drug delivery devices integration, among others; highly sophisticated devices loaded with various sensors & camcorders are a mandate. Hence, a rapid increase in demand for such advanced medical equipment across multiple tertiary healthcare cent

The Potential of Big Data in Disrupting Pharma Industry

Image
We have currently progressed to a state where there is too much information for one person to analyze. What we now call “Big data”- composed of more significant volumes, variety, and velocity of data than ever before, is just more data. With big data analytics, we can now process and make sense of that data, thus providing excellent opportunities for every industry. Over the years, the demand for data has grown exponentially, and quick integration is now considered a business requirement. It is particularly true for pharmaceutical industries as they have always trusted empirical data to identify patterns, test theories, and understand the efficacy of treatments. For big data analysis, one can manage an extensive collection of digital health records and administrative data, including medicine safety reports, drug prescriptions, and hospital discharge datasets. Effectively leveraging these data will enable pharmaceutical companies to better identify new potential drug candidates an

Paptic Paper – A New Alternative

Image
The increasing use of plastics and their application in almost every field have made them quite versatile. From using it as a plastic carrying bag to space application, plastics or any derivatives from polymer are quite inseparable in today’s life. However, the highest use comes from the packaging industry; almost every packable, deliverable goods or items comprise plastics or their derivatives. While plastics have excellent versatility and flexibility, they can’t be decomposed, which is quite a significant problem. Hence, alternatives to plastics are being searched. However, replacing plastic in every application area seems too difficult given its versatile physical and chemical properties. Here’s where paptic paper comes from. Although it’s a brand, it is counted to be an alternative in the packaging industry. The principal And the Need The brand Paptic defines its product as “a new bio-based, recyclable, reusable, biodegradable next-generation packaging material made of renewabl

Nanotechnology – The Future Of Packaging

Image
Nanotechnology is a significant packaging industry trend that enables innovative packaging. This new trend has become the most fetching technology in the packaging sector, especially in the food packaging industry. North America has the largest share in nanotechnology for food packaging sold in value because of high awareness and product availability, stated Business Wire, a global leader in the press release. Cellulo Tech is one of the nanotechnology start-ups that focuses on replacing plastic coatings for different types of packaging with a renewable mono-material. Nanotechnology will raise the bar of performance of the packaging market in the coming years if industries focus on this with a planned approach. Nanotechnology is the science of very small materials and deals with nanoparticles and nano-systems smaller than 100 nanometres. Various nanomaterials, such as silver nanoparticles, nano zinc oxide, and nano clay, are introduced as functional additives to food packaging. Appl
