Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 2nd Annual
AI and Process Control
Model-Informed Control for Smarter Bioprocessing
11-12 March 2026
AI is redefining the boundaries of process control—enabling smarter systems that adapt in real time, learn from past performance, and operate with greater precision. The AI and Process Control conference focuses on the deployment of machine learning, digital twins, and multivariate control models to optimise consistency, scalability, and product quality. Presentations will feature autonomous bioprocess strategies, MIMO-based design space control, and predictive models for aggregation and stability. Speakers will also cover the integration of process-monitoring data with computational tools to drive closed-loop control and continuous improvement. From early-phase design through commercial production, this conference explores how intelligent systems are reshaping what’s possible in modern biomanufacturing.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
- Autonomous, data-driven approaches for self-optimising bioprocesses
- Computational modeling of biophysical properties
- Design space considerations with MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) process design for enhanced process control
- Developability assays, data generation and models
- Innovative applications of AI, digitalisation, and automation in manufacturing
- Integration of process monitoring data with AI/ML and computational models to predict and optimise outcomes
- Methods and models for prediction of aggregation and stability
- Modelling and control of process dynamics to improve consistency and scalability
- Moving from single-value acceptance criteria to multivariate, model-informed control strategies
The deadline for priority consideration is Friday 19 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.
