Talk im Cube: Sustainable Practices in Life Sciences - A Panel Discussion (in English)
With the new event series "Talk im Cube", we want to bring business and science together on the Berlin-Buch campus and connect founders of start-ups or life science companies with scientists, e.g. from the Max Delbrück Center, FMP, Charité and BIH. We invite experts on business topics or trends in the life sciences and highlight every month aspects such as
- What innovations are there in the start-ups and who is driving them forward?
- How does the life science business world work and where can synergies with science be created?
- How does the "networked laboratory" work and how do you live "sustainability in the laboratory"?
In addition, at the beginning of each event, a biotech company from our campus will briefly introduce itself.
Target audience:
Founders & scientists from start-ups, small and medium-sized life science companies and scientific institutions
Costs:
Participation is free of charge. Registration is requested.
The next "Talk im Cube" of the Gläsernes Labor Akademie (GLA) will take place on May 16, 2024 from 5:00 - 6:30 p.m.
Sustainable Practices in Life Sciences - A Panel Discussion (in English)
with
Martin Rahmel, Managing Director Chemical Invention Factory,
Angelika Storm, Head of ESG Strategy, Global Operations, Qiagen,
Kristine Oevel, Sustainability Expert at the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP),
Dominik Müller, Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine,
Stefanie Reichelt, Community Direktor at Carbon 13 (Moderation).
Key Topics
- Sustainable Innovations: How can life sciences drive positive change?
- Regulatory Landscape: Navigating evolving sustainability regulations.
- Risk Mitigation: Strategies to reduce costs and enhance value.
- Environmental Impact: Balancing growth with ecological responsibility.
Sustainability plays a crucial role in the life sciences industry, ensuring that we meet our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. Governments and international bodies are increasingly focusing on regulations related to sustainability, including carbon taxes, price controls, and responsible use of resources.
This panel will delve into the evolving landscape of sustainability in life sciences, exploring strategies for academic institutions, start-ups, biotech and pharmaceutical companies to navigate regulatory shifts while creating enduring value for society, the environment, and their own enterprises.
Don't miss this opportunity to engage with experts as we chart a path towards a more sustainable future.
Followed by Get together and Networking over snacks and drinks.
Other topics planned for this year:
- The journey of company... "Founder stories"
- Team 4.0 - Networked working in biotechnology
- Life Science Marketing: A potential way of scientist to promote their products
- CROs in diagnostics and therapeutics development

Spring Concert 2024
We cordially invite you to the Spring Concert 2024 with classical music
The concert will be held in honour of Prof. Dr Heinz Bielka (1929-2020). The highly recognised scientist, science historian and patron of the arts and culture came up with the idea of rebuilding the Buch church tower in 2007 and, together with many others from the Förderverein Kirchturm Buch e.V., has always driven the project forward. He was strongly supported by his wife, Prof. Galina Ivanzova, who has been organising benefit concerts since then with her pupils and students in order to raise funds for this enormous task with the donations received from the Buch audience. The church tower is now nearing completion, so the organisers are once again asking for support with this concert. Admission is free.
Young, talented musicians (aged 10-19) will perform their broad repertoire of classical music; most of them have already won prizes at several international competitions. Tabea Streicher will also be taking part again.
Looking forward to see you in the audience and best regards,
Christiane Nolte (for the Society of Friends)
Location:Campus Buch, MDC.C, Axon

From Target to Market - The GLA Biotech & Pharma Summer School
The 4-day intensive course provides a comprehensive overview of the entire drug development process in biotechnology and in the pharmaceutical industry – from the idea to the market.
The trainer team consists of experts in medicine, pharmaceutical industry, biotech companies, contract research and consulting organizations etc.
Since the course modules illustrate the drug development step by step, during the lectures and workshops attendees will become familiar with the complete process and will learn what the pharma industry and authorities are like.
Due to the compact, complete and competent course in a familiar atmosphere you will be able to
- apply the lecture contents during interactive and case-related exercises within small learning groups coached by the trainers
- get a deep insight into the process of drug development and build up contacts to industry experts
- discuss your questions with the trainers
Course Language: English
Documentation: Attendees receive comprehensive paper documentationat the beginning of the course. The binders include print-outs of all presentation slides and working sheets as used during the workshop sessions. All paper documents, links to further information and literature will also be made available electronically through a course sharepoint.
Size: The course is limited to a maximum of 16 participants and will only take place with a minimum of 6 participants. Due to organizational reasons, early registration is recommended.
Target Audience: The course is directed to natural scientists, PhD students and postdocs of natural scientific and medical degree programs who work in fundamental research, biotechnology or in research pharma companies with little or no experience in drug development.
Learning Goals: After course completion, attendees will have a basic understanding of the entire drug development process in the pharmaceutical industry and in biotechnology. Thus, based on their individual background, they should be able to identify potential occupational fields in the industry and authorities dealing with drug development and drug approvals.
Certification: The participation of the course will be certified by the German Life Science Association VBIO “Verband Biologie, Biowissenschaften und Biomedizin” and the Gläsernes Labor Akademie (GLA).
Course fees: 1.850,00 € per participant plus VAT, course binders and catering according to to program as attached. Participants of academical institutions pay 1.480,00 € plus 19% VAT. Assosciations which are members of the VBIO as well as private applicants will get a fee reduction of 10%.

GMP Biotech Summer School
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Basic Course Biotechnology (English) & ATMPs
Knowing and applying the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations is one of the key elements in the manufacture of medicinal products for clinical trials and on an industrial level.
This face-to-face course concentrates on GMP requirements regarding biopharmaceutical and Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) manufacturing.
During the course, the most important elements of GMP will be explained in an easy-to-understand way with reference to the relevant GMP regulations and examples of how regulatory requirements are transferred into practice. The course will include some workshop elements where trainees will develop GMP compliant solutions (e.g. risk assessments, equipment qualification) together with the trainer.
Topics:
History and Evolution of GMP; Regulatory Authorities (EU, US, Germany), GMP Regulations/ Guidance (Global, EU, US, Germany); Quality Systems; Documentation; Personnel; Premises; Equipment; Production: Basics; Production-Biologics: Up-stream, Down-stream, Fill&Finish; Production-ATMPs: Up-stream, Down-stream, Fill&Finish; Process Validation; Quality Control; Validation of Analytical Procedures; Inspections and Audits; Outsourced Activities; Investigational Medicinal Products; Clinical Trials; License Application; Computerized Systems; Data Integrity.
