The goal of Advanced Lyophilization Technology Hub (LyoHUB) is to advance the science and technology of freeze-drying/lyophilization. LyoHUB’s members include companies in the pharmaceutical and food processing sectors, equipment manufacturers and university researchers, who combine their expertise and resources to accomplish the goal. Immediate objectives are: (i) to identify and disseminate Best Practices for lyophilization equipment performance, testing and validation and (ii) to conduct applied research to advance lyophilization processes and products.

Over the past two years, the Advanced Lyophilization Technology Hub (LyoHUB), with support from a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Advanced Manufacturing Technology Roadmap (MFGTech) grant, has collaborated with more than 100 pharmaceutical and life sciences manufacturing experts to develop the Lyo2040: Lyophilization and Freeze-Thaw Technology Roadmap for Pharma/Biotech Manufacturing.
The Lyo2040 roadmap builds on the first technology roadmap for lyophilization, the MFGTech-awarded Lyo2017 roadmap, to include:
Advanced digital technologies will help achieve roadmap goals through automation and digitalization of the lyophilization process enabled by artificial intelligence, digital twins, big data, and data analytics.
