How can you determine what control strategy to use for a manufacturing process?
What can you learn from this even if you are not working with manufacturing?

A control strategy for a drug manufacturing process is the overall approach to ensure that when you make the drug product, it’s going to be of acceptable quality. It is a great way to think about how you can optimize and control a very long process that has many factors.

The topics we discuss apply a lot for any other process that you are looking into where there many steps and where understand variability and what is driving quality is important.

In this episode, you will also learn about the design of factorial experiments.

Never Split the Difference written by Chris Voss, who was a former international hostage negotiator for the FBI offers a new field-tested approach to high-stakes negotiations—whether in the boardroom or at home.

Today, the number of infected people in this pandemic has been increasing and the third wave is coming, but statisticians still cannot convince the government to act accordingly.

In this episode, we talk about non-clinical research and development and how statisticians contribute to these efforts. Join us while we talk about the following important phases of R&D.

What is non-clinical pharmaceutical statistics?

Data visualization is at the heart of what we are doing (or should be doing) as statisticians. It moved from being a side topic a couple of years ago into a central part of the PSI conference in 2021. The upcoming PSI conference features 2 data visualization expert from the Financial Times as keynote speakers in addition to an interactive training and a contributed session about data visualization. A couple of further sessions will likely have a heavy emphasis on data visualization in a specific field like benefit-risk.

Everybody talks about AI, but where are the actual use cases? In the episode today, I'm talking with Dooti Roy about AiCure.

As the pandemic continues to affect the community’s ability to meet in-person, virtual conferences adapt and develop to create space for companies.

Now, there is much more emphasis on virtual settings, and there are many new tools available to improve the virtual conference experience.
