The compulsion to change seems not yet powerful enough to overcome these barriers or to put it another way, has not yet reached the activation energy threshold.
Drastic reduction in the cost of sequencing the human genome, setting a record for the fastest learning curve in history..Global deployment of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines within a year.. Development of mRNA vaccines targeting previously untreatable diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders, expected to be available by 2030..
Significant increase in the approval and use of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) such as cell and gene therapies, which were introduced just 14 years ago.. 400 times increase in FDA clinical trials for new drugs in the past two decades..Rapid expansion of bio-revolution into various sectors like agriculture, consumer goods, bio-services, bio-computing, bio-informatics, and bio-industry..These advancements, combined with broader societal, political, and economic trends, are projected to double the size of the life science market within the next decade..
The challenge: exponential demand, high complexity, & lagging supply.Laboratories support all stages of the life science value-chain, from R&D to manufacturing and diagnostics, and exponential market growth means exponential demand for lab space..
In addition to this rising demand, life science businesses and developers looking to deploy labs face additional challenges, including:.
A lack of existing lab space in some locations already today.This depth of analysis is impossible when focusing solely on individual components.
Chips allow easy value adjustments that support targeted process optimisation, leading to seamless improvements in productivity.. Planning for the future becomes straightforward, allowing consideration of various data variables, such as market trends, and calculating their impact on energy or space requirements.Testing multiple options reveals the optimum capital investment to maximise future flexibility across different markets.. Benefits of modelling using chips.
Once a client’s requirements are thoroughly assessed, a Chip library becomes a powerful tool for the design team, offering:.- Clear project brief understanding.. - Efficient test fits to maximise site utilisation.. - Future-proof expansion and phasing plans.. - Quick costing methods for all options.. - Utilities requirements assessment.. - Standardisation and design optimisation..
