Advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing is an important research focus of Purdue’s One Health initiative, which involves research at the intersection of human, plant and animal health and well-being.
The Young Institute is a co-sponsor of the annual Indiana Life Sciences Manufacturing Summit, which gathers industry, academia, state and local governments, and other relevant organizations to promote life sciences manufacturing, research, education and business development. The event in Indianapolis examines such issues as workforce development strategies and how to forge global solutions with regional resources.
