5th Swiss Industrial Chemistry Symposium (SICS) 2025

Meet Novalix at the 5th Swiss Industrial Chemistry Symposium at the end of January.

SICS 2025 is a platform for industrial chemists working in R&D. Scientists can present their latest findings and showcase their successes to industrials and academia. Attend insightful lectures and short talks.

“PIPAc: towards flow chemistry and artificial intelligence powered API production“

Attend our scientific poster presentation on the PIPAc project made by Sylvain Guizzetti, PhD, Director Process and Flow Chemistry, during the networkwing session from noon to 2 pm.

Abstract: The use of flow chemistry ¹ and artificial intelligence² in the production of API has witnessed significant interest both from academia and industry over the last years. Propofol³ and fentanyl⁴ are standing as privileged target because they experience shortage during COVID-19 crisis and are on the WHO’s list of essential medicine. The PIPAc project aim is to bring the first AI-powered autonomous industrial demonstrator for APIs manufacturing through the combination of continuous flow chemistry, artificial intelligence, and additive manufacturing.
