Title of the research project
Development of an in-process quality monitoring technology for plants during pharmaceutical manufacturing using high throughput mass spectrometry coupled to machine learning approaches
Description

Process efficacy and robustness are crucial to assure productivity and predictability in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Medicago’s vaccine manufacturing technology uses plants for production and our aim is to develop a system capable of predicting and monitoring plant’s fitness for production early in the process, from plant seedling to harvest of producing leaves.

To this end, we must identify the factors that regulate the production level for each plant. We plan to measure a great deal of molecules, called metabolites, to determine the optimal conditions for the plants to generate the maximal amount of each product. Since the quantity of measurements is large, we will use machine learning to design an artificial intelligence capable of understanding and identifying the potentially highly complex patterns of metabolites and/or biomarkers that are correlated with the optimal production.

Featured project

The project consists in determining and exploring the possibilities offered by dynamic dashboards in a medical context as well as the associated data management structures. The project therefore considers several aspects of data management. In this sense, the considerations related to DICOM data transfers as well as different approaches to their management and conservation are considered. In addition, the dashboards will be designed to ensure an effective, clear and concise presentation with recognized visualization tools.
