Other awards

Biopharma Group Prize

Biopharma Group will award one team of the PoliTO Student Contest on Drying and Freeze-Drying with the possibility to access its 5-hour recorded webinar series on the fundamentals of lyophilisation (commercial value €1100) and then to have their own customised half-day remote workshop.  Scientists from Biopharma Group’s R&D team will liaise with the winning team to design a bespoke online workshop to cover more specific / advanced topics within the field of freeze-drying (for example on cycle development, scale-up, QbD or DoE approaches).  The tailored programme would then be delivered by Biopharma Group’s own scientists in an online session.

Biopharma Group will consider not only the project novelty and potential impact on advancing freeze-drying technology, but also the practical applicability of the project in a commercial setting.
