In the world of pharma and biotech, validation and testing are essential to ensure that products and processes meet regulatory requirements and the highest possible quality standards. In this episode, Plantvision's Jessica Kjellberg and Kanar Mahmoud discuss how to go about validating and using an electronic test tool in GMP environments. They also provide you with the answer to the chicken and egg question when implementing a test tool - namely, can you use the test tool itself to validate the test tool or do you need to have a paper process first?

In this episode, Plantvision's Jessica Kjellberg and Katarina Stojanovic offer valuable insights to all small businesses and research companies that are in the early stages of developing their quality system. When starting a GMP business, or beginning with CE marking for a medical device, it can feel both confusing and overwhelming with all the laws and regulations you have to follow. In today's episode, we answer your questions! What do you need to consider when setting up a quality system? How do you proceed if you need to change your processes? What is the role of inspections and what is the difference between internal and external audits? You will also get an insight into how an external audit from a government organization usually works.

In this episode, Plantvision's Cecilia Jacobsson chats with Janet Hoogstraate, PhD, CEO of NorthX Biologics. Janet is a prominent leader in the biopharmaceutical sector with extensive experience in all phases of development from early research to full-scale production. They discuss manufacturing in the Life Science sector and delve into the challenges but also opportunities that Swedish pharmaceutical production has. Among other things, you will hear about the challenges of scaling up production for smaller companies, the need for skills and how we can attract new talent, technology development and the use of AI in pharmaceutical manufacturing, as well as the role of regulation and the government's strategy for Life Science.

In this episode, Plantvision's Fredrik Arrigucci talks to Daniel Espinoza, a researcher at Lund Institute of Technology, about how he and his research team are using digital twins to stabilize and streamline the production of biotech Pharma. We discuss what a digital twin actually is and exemplify how it can be used.
