About CMAC Data Lab
Investment
The CMAC Data Lab will be a world-first Industry 5.0 research facility that will support a critical mass of new research that will revolutionise the way we design, develop, manufacture, and regulate medicines through the digitalisation of CMC processes.
Project timeline
With investment in new capabilities around peptide and oligonucleotide production, this award also enabled CMAC to address challenges in bringing these new medicines to patients. CMAC will work with its partners to fully integrate the benefits of this unique resource into the wider UK research, development and innovation ecosystem.
The Data Lab builds on our recent UKRPIF Net Zero Pilot and allows us to go further in reducing the emissions generated from our research.
We will transform our research ecosystem through:
1) Systems-level transformation spanning development, manufacture and regulation using integrated data & digital infrastructure;
2) MicroFactories for intensive, sustainable and adaptable, advanced processing;
3) Intelligent, cyber-physical, DataFactories connecting robots & people with real-time digital twins;
4) Advanced measurement instrumentation revealing multilength scales functional material characteristics.
This will underpin a world class portfolio of manufacturing research and establish a unique data centre that will inform scientific breakthroughs and deliver a Digital CMC toolbox. Outcomes include: enhanced R&D productivity; accelerated development and scale-up for new patient-centric products; more sustainable & resilient processes and a unique environment to train the future workforce and establish the new era of Digital CMC.
