Abstract

The “Thailand-Australia Pharma Innovation: Strengthening Collaboration for Research & Industry” seminar serves as a key platform for fostering collaboration between Thailand and Australia to advance pharmaceutical research, innovation, and modern manufacturing technologies. The event covers drug discovery, process development, and industrial-scale production, with an emphasis on sustainability, efficiency, and cutting-edge technology adoption.

This seminar features talks by researchers from CSIRO (Australia), BIOTEC, GPO, and leading institution, covering:
AI & Machine Learning in Pharmaceutical Development
Continuous Manufacturing & Automation
Drug Development & Scale-Up

The event also includes a panel discussion, focusing on challenges and opportunities to support pharmaceutical innovation and industry growth in both Thailand and Australia.

Additionally, the interactive workshop will provide practical insights into modern pharmaceutical manufacturing through three key areas:

Process Development – Fundamentals of reaction scale-up, manufacturability, and process optimization.
Continuous Flow Chemistry – How continuous processes enhance reaction control, safety, and scalability while reducing production costs.
Green Chemistry – Sustainable manufacturing strategies to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact.

This seminar provides a valuable opportunity to connect, exchange knowledge, and develop collaborative strategies that drive pharmaceutical innovation and sustainable industry growth in Thailand, Australia, and the broader Southeast Asia region.
