Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 6th Annual
Digital Transformation and AI in Bioprocess
Into the Digital Future
August 20-21, 2025
Biopharmaceutical companies are increasingly harnessing the power of digitalization, machine learning, and AI to drive scientific and operational excellence from process development to manufacturing. From data integration, digital twins, and modeling, to AI applications and advanced process control, the Digital Transformation and AI in Bioprocess conference is the gateway where scientists and engineers gather to share their vision for a transformative future of bioprocessing. Attendees will gain practical insights into implementing digital solutions across biomanufacturing operations, and advancing their organization's digital transformation journey.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
- Data Infrastructure and Integration
- Structured and contextualized data for analytics and modeling
- Ontology development for seamless data integration across platforms
- Addressing challenges in data silos and standardization for small, medium, and large enterprises
- Digital Twins and Process Modeling Applications in Bioprocess Development
- Development and applications of digital twins for real-time process control
- Hybrid modeling approaches (mechanistic + data-driven) for predictive accuracy
- Use of digital twins in upstream (e.g., bioreactor optimization) and downstream (e.g., purification scalability)
- Applications across modalities—monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT), viral vectors, and emerging modalities
- AIML Implementation Challenges
- Bridging the gap between AI/ML innovations and regulatory acceptance
- Strategies for integrating AI/ML in Quality by Design (QbD) and lifecycle management
- Process Analytical Technology and Advanced Process Control
- Advanced Process Control (APC) strategies for automated feed optimization
- Use of AI/ML for real-time monitoring of Critical Process Parameters (CPPs)
- Pattern recognition and anomaly detection in bioprocessing datasets
- Automation and Robotics
- Robotics for reducing manual intervention in lab and manufacturing settings
- Examples of advanced automation platforms and their bioprocessing applications
- Future directions in replacing traditional methods (e.g., HPLC) with automated alternatives
The deadline for priority consideration is January 27, 2025.
All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
