GlaxoSmithKline UK To provide industry focused training, PhD students and PDRAs from the Border & Regions Airways Training Hub (BREATH) were invited to the Brentford and Stevenage GSK sites for a two-day visit. A total of 35 scientists from the Dundalk Institute of Technology, Queen’s University Belfast and the University of the West of Scotland were given guided tours of the GSK facilities. In addition, we were treated to presentation by innovative GSK scientists, engineers, marketing executives, department heads and researchers, all of who are vital to the process of product development from research and innovation to distribution. Students and principal investigators had the unique opportunity to engage with associates of the company and learn about their recent work. This included the utilisation of deep learning to improve diagnostics, the use of virtual reality to train the workforce in invaluable techniques, the process of guiding products from pre-market to market and the general processed by which multidisciplinary teams develop, manufacture and test products.
