New scientific possibilities
Our researchers in Beerse focus on Neurosciences, Oncology and Infectious Diseases. For the discovery of new medicines, they use the latest technologies and possibilities. For example, our research teams use data science in the search for breakthrough solutions: from partnerships with other companies in the early stages of research to using data science to optimize our clinical trials.
Collaboration
When it comes to research and development, we have a great deal of expertise ourselves. But great progress is often not achieved by working on your own. We work closely with J&J in the Netherlands, for example on vaccines and preventive medicine, and the other sites around the world.
Continuous manufacturing
The campus is a pioneer in the implementation of new technologies in drug development and manufacturing. The broad range of technological advances at the Beerse facility is well illustrated in the continuous manufacturing investment on campus. Revolutionary technology lies at the basis of this continuous manufacturing method. Products that previously were batch manufactured, with many different rooms and different steps, can now be produced in a continuous process. Production is now a matter of minutes, as opposed to hours, days or weeks in the traditional process.
The second biggest manufacturing site in Europe
On our site in Beerse lies the second biggest pharmaceutical manufacturing site of the J&J Supply Chain in Europe. The pharmaceutical production plant is a ‘high-volume plant’ and a center of excellence for certain technologies, such as products in liquid and semi-solid form, transdermal products, and sterile products.
