SchemePharmaceutical ResearchHistory.Thinking method.Research
steps.Know HOW.Production scales.
Heliopolis ResearchR&D department.Biodiagnostics example
from lab to factory.Another approach.New era.
Cuban Green RevolutionIn 1960 two years after the Cuban
revolution, U.S made his constructions Soviet aid ,other aids to
this developing country.Thus leads Castro revolution leader to
perform a meeting with the scientist and business men, What is the
main source of Medicine Herbal medicine
Now Cubas pharmaceuticals exports for 2015 = 87.7 million
USD.
Scientific thinking method
Research steps1. Determine the problem & define the question
to answer2. Find general background about your problem/question.3.
Use the library to find books.4. Use article indexes to find and
follow the research regarding your problem/question.5. Consider
using the Internet to find government information and open access
articles related to your topic.6. Collect, read, evaluate and write
what you have learned.7. Cite the information you have found so
that others will be able to follow your research trail.
- Practical knowledge on how to accomplish something which means
that it is difficult to transfer to another person by means of
writing it down or verbalizing it.- know-how is Technology transfer
component in national and international environments.
Production scales
Laboratory scaleResearch .Information gathering.Information
processing.Prototyping.Produce small amounts.
Pilot scaleSet the testing methods.Produce batches.Improve the
quality.Small factory
Industrial scaleContinuous production.High volumes.Waste
reduction.
R&D department main mission is connectingscience and
industry.SEKEM play this role through its phytopharmaceutical
branch ATOS pharma.
BiodiagnosticsResearch project -From idea to application.-From
import to export.-From trading to production.
ResearchBeginning with full understand of research work done
before by Dr. Alaa Barakat, Dr. Zainab Zakaria and colleague
Mr.Omar Ahmed Khaled.
Then representation of our prototype at the 2nd Cairo
international Innovation exhibition at Baron Palace.
And The 3rd exhibition at the Cairo castle.
Preparation of product inserts (leaflet) with our Medical
department.
Implementation steps(Production line setup)
Production area preparation
Adjusting
Technical information, warehouse preparation, ISO 13485
Documentation, Production bottle neck
Prototype comparison with competitors product (efficiency)
Production CapacitySamples for quality check, Propaganda
-samples distribution-, Quality Standards, Quality training, Sales
Technical support -Tenders).
Biodiagnostics Future Phase (2):-- Production capacity
improvement (New area, bigger team) - Producing the raw materials
(uncut sheet, Plastics -Cassettes and droppers-).Produce new
diagnostic products.
Research in HeliopolisR&D department working on a new
treatment for antibiotic resistant bacteria.Through invitro and
invivo experiments.
Laboratory and PPE precautions
Testing animals
IV and IP injection
Samples
Testing
Results
BioTechnologyNew era of using the biological systems as a
factory instead of chemical synthetic of molecules.Ex:- Extraction
of Penicillin from Penicillium.Catalase enzyme for hydrogen
peroxide decomposition instead of manganese dioxide or other
compounds.Finally biotechnology provides high technology for
healthier products and easier processes.
Biotechnology applicationAgriculture - increasing
yield.improving protection from insects and disease.increasing
their crops tolerance to heat, drought, and other environmental
stress.Environmental Replace pollutant pesticide and
herbicide.Recycling agricultural waste to produce beneficial
products.Remove pollutants from environment in safe way.Provide
more land by getting high yield of a small land.
Biotechnology applicationMedicalLiving cells for
research.Diagnostic products to early detection of
diseases.Treatment (Pharmaceutical and gene therapy).Regenerative
medicine for replacing defected tissues and organs (Stem
cells).IndustrialCost reduction.Resource conservation.Food industry
(Yogurt, Cheese, bread, Coffee whiteners,).Valuable products from
waste (Vinegar, alcohol, Beer, ) Production scalability.
