The pharmaceutical industry is under growing pressure from patent expirations of major drugs, cost-constrained health care systems, and a demanding regulatory environment. A focus for the industry is to tackle these challenges while increasing the output and quality of cost-effective, new medicines without incurring unsustainable R&D cost. Through new technology and new approaches there is an aspiration to make such improvements while also bringing ever-improved therapeutics to patients faster.

In this conference, we will lay out many of the challenges the industry is facing and explore potential solutions coming from academic research and startup endeavors, from early discovery through manufacturing technologies, to clinical studies and beyond.

Microwave amplifiers based on III-V high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are a key component of scientific instrumentation. Lower noise devices are of intense interest for applications in radio astronomy and quantum computing. In this talk, Minnich will discuss our efforts to identify and mitigate noise sources in HEMTs at cryogenic temperatures and thereby realize transistor amplifiers operating near the quantum noise limit.

12PM - 1PM EST
Virtual on Zoom
Part of the MTL Seminar Series.
