Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 2nd Annual
Process Modelling and Digitalisation
Transforming Bioprocessing through Digital Innovation
10-11 March 2026
Digital systems and predictive models are transforming how bioprocesses are built, understood, and scaled. In Process Modelling and Digitalisation, speakers will share real-world examples of digital twins, advanced visualisation tools, and data infrastructures that unify production, development, and R&D. Sessions will feature integrated strategies for automating in-process analytics, managing data lakes with FAIR principles, and using real-time dashboards to drive decisions. Presentations will also explore applications of AI in cell line performance prediction, computational models for upstream process optimisation, and robotics-driven workflows for cell and gene therapy. This track brings together data scientists, engineers, and process developers working to modernise infrastructure, improve scalability, and reduce cost through smart, connected systems.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
- Advanced software tools to support analysis of large datasets and data visualisation
- AI models for cell line performance prediction
- Automation and multiplexing for standard assays and in-process analytics
- Bringing automation and robotics into cell and gene therapy production
- Company-wide digitisation initiatives; data lakes, FAIR principals, integrated analysis
- Designing high-quality training datasets for AI-driven models
- Implementation of AI and digital twins for process simulation
- Integrating single-cell analyzers, proteomics, and image analysis to support workflows
- Interactive dashboards, ELNs, and emerging AI/LLM tools to support workflows
- Process optimisation to address scalability challenges and reduce COGs
- Real-time data acquisition and process control in cell therapy
The deadline for priority consideration is Friday 12 September.
All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge Healthtech Institute policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
