The University of Strathclyde is home to the Centre for Continuous
Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation (CMAC). The CMAC Future
Manufacturing Research Hub will address the urgent need to translate new
molecules into high-value products through rapid predictive development
pathways and integrated continuous manufacturing systems, enabling more
personalised, responsive and flexible product provision through digitalised
supply chains. Building on the significant success of the EPSRC Centre for
Innovative Manufacturing in Continuous Manufacturing and Crystallisation (CMAC
CIM), and informed by extensive engagement with national and global industry,
end-users, technology providers, international academic programmes and regulatory
agencies, the industry-academic team has co-created an ambitious CMAC Future
Manufacturing Research Hub Vision.
The shared vision, scope, and programme for CMAC has been developed
through close collaboration with industry.
The continued support from industry partners has been at the core of
CMAC’s success. GSK, AZ, Bayer, Lilly, Novartis, Roche and Takeda having seats
on the Board along with a Tier 2 member representing 17 technology companies.
The Industry Technical Committee provide co-ordinated and sustained mentoring,
direction and support for CMAC’s research, training, and outreach programmes.
Each Tier 1 partner has ran or is running a number of proprietary projects
applicable to their own portfolio. As an example of collaboration CMAC helped
create a new consortium, Project Remedies, a £23m Advanced Manufacturing Supply
Chain Initiative led by GSK and comprising 22 partners (including 11 SME’s)
aimed at reconfiguring the manufacturing supply chain for medicines on a global
scale.
