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:

• novel freeze-drying, aseptic (contamination-free) drying
• freeze-thaw technologies
• new product treatments like cell and gene therapies, nucleotides (building blocks of DNA and RNA), vaccines and therapeutics education/workforce development.

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.
