Working Groups

graphic_workinggroupPistoia Alliance working groups identify, define, and address specific challenges within the broader chemistry and biology domains of life science R&D that could be alleviated by precompetitive collaboration.

Working groups often grow out of discussions among members, but for a working group to be formally established, it must address an issue that will deliver demonstrable, broad benefits to Pistoia Alliance members and the industry at large. Learnings from working group feasibility studies, proofs of concept, and demonstrators may spawn additional projects.

We invite you to explore the activities occurring now in Pistoia’s working groups, or to contact us if you have a proposal for a new Pistoia Alliance working group.
