In this episode, host Guilherme Fernandes and professors João Cardoso, João F. Pinto, and Mário Eusébio dive deep into the world of Pharmaceutical and Chemical Technology to debate the real-world obstacles that arise in technology transfer. What you will hear in this episode: The complexity of moving from synthesis and galenic development to large-scale industrial production. The real impact and challenges brought by digitalization to the factory floor. The necessary bridges to effectively transform scientific theory into efficient industrial output. Stay tuned! In the next episode (Part 3), the panel will focus on the future: designing the ideal academic curriculum, the impact of collaborative projects, and the role of ISPE in closing the gap between universities and companies once and for all.
