SUMMARY:Embracing Today\, Shaping Tomorrow: Driving Innovation in Decentralized Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Embracing Today\, Shaping Tomorrow: Driving Innovation in Decentralized Manufacturing \nMarch 27\, 2025 – 8:00am PT \nWith more than 75% of U.S. hospitals facing medication shortages and millions of people in low- and middle-income countries lacking access to critical medicines\, the need for localized\, flexible production is urgent. Decentralized manufacturing at the point of care presents a groundbreaking solution by bringing production closer to patients. This webinar will explore how decentralization brings agile production of essential medicines closer to the point of care across the country and globally\, ensuring a reliable supply of life-saving drugs. \nAs a case study\, we will showcase Germfree’s collaboration with On Demand Pharmaceuticals to implement decentralized manufacturing systems. By combining Germfree’s mobile cleanroom technology with ODP’s Pharmacy on Demand platform\, this collaboration empowers healthcare providers to produce high-quality medications on site\, reducing reliance on fragile global supply chains. This real-world pilot met all regulatory requirements\, leveraged a state-of-the art quality management approach\, and demonstrated a novel\, agile compounding capability for drugs on shortage. It resulted in patients being treated with high-quality medicines that were made on-demand and on-site. \nJoin us to gain insights into the transformative potential of decentralized manufacturing and its role in solving drug shortages. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n– Understand the advantages of decentralized manufacturing in addressing drug shortages.\n– Learn how localized production improves efficiency and patient access.\n– Explore real-world applications through the case study with On Demand Pharmaceuticals.\n– Learn various technologies and designs that are being utilized in current Point-of-Care infrastructure \nREGISTER» \nEvent Host

SUMMARY:Method for Improved Results for MRI Used in Metabolic Sensing
DESCRIPTION:Host: Joseph Conrad\n\n\nAgenda\n\nThe National Heart Lung & Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are seeking research co-development partners and/or licensees for a newly developed method of obtaining hyperpolarized imaging agents for real time metabolic imaging using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This method uses a unique recyclable perfluorinated Iridium Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange (SABRE) catalyst to generate hyperpolarized MRI imaging agents for patient administration. This novel method\, catalyst and resulting imaging agents\, can be used in MRI metabolic imaging to detect cancer\, cardiovascular disease\, stroke\, and traumatic brain injury; and monitor therapies without the presence of metals such as gadolinium or iron. Attend a free webinar on December 18th to hear from Rolf Swenson\, PhD\, the co-inventor\, and learn about this new technology. \nHyperpolarized MRI is a noninvasive\, non-radioactive technique that enables real-time\, pathway-specific investigation of in vivo metabolic processes and disease mechanisms\, previously inaccessible with conventional imaging. For example\, by amplifying the signal of [1-13C]pyruvate molecules through hyperpolarization\, the real-time visualization of metabolic processes becomes possible and provides crucial insights in the study of a wide range of diseases\, including cancer\, cardiovascular disorders\, metabolic diseases\, neurologic disorders and treatment response. Traditional methods for obtaining hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate are highly expensive and time consuming. \nWhen combined with a fluorinated/methanol blend\, this novel perfluorinated Iridium SABRE catalyst boosts [1-13C]pyruvate hyperpolarization by 1.2-fold\, is easily separable and recyclable\, and retains its activity for at least 10 hyperpolarization cycles. The resulting hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate is obtained in a fraction of the time (15 min) needed for traditional methods (several hours) and at a fraction of the associated costs. This presentation will discuss this novel method\, the types of novel SABRE catalyst that can be used\, and the novel types of hyperpolarized imaging agents that can be produced by this method. \nREGISTER»
