Process Intensification: Overcoming the Inefficiencies of Traditional Fed Batch in Upstream Cell Culture
BioProcess Insider Daily - Biotech Week Boston
Read MoreAurigene’s chief commercial officer says his firm and other Indian CDMOs are “a very viable alternative” if major Chinese manufacturers are removed from the US biopharma supply chain.
Cell therapies will play an increasingly important position in AstraZeneca’s broad oncology pipeline, an SVP told delegates at Biotech Week Boston (BWB) last month.
Smaller innovators are more likely to be upended by US legislation aimed at restricting working with China-based CDMOs like WuXi Biologics, according to Latham Biopharm.
Vertex says finding the sweet spot in manufacturing capacity is key to ensuring the successful rollout of sickle cell gene therapy Casgevy (exagamglogene autotemcel).

As the monoclonal-antibody (mAb) market continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly important for pharmaceutical and biotech companies to accelerate process development and establish a scalable manufacturing process capable of achieving high titers and consistent product quality. Central to this is a cell culture media and feed system that can provide the required nutrients for optimal cell growth, viability, and function, as well as facilitate a seamless transition from development to clinical and commercial manufacturing. However, choosing an appropriate system can be a complex and time-consuming process, often requiring the evaluation of multiple medium and feed options. Platform systems, consisting of a medium and complementary feed developed for a specific cell line and application, have emerged as a valuable option for developers to help simplify selection and increase scale-up efficiency. To meet the need for high-performance platform mAb manufacturing solutions, Thermo Fisher Scientific has dev...

This webcast features: James Humphrey, research and technology specialist, Garima Sinha, lead applications scientist, & Jessica Santa Maria, technical marketing lead, Croda Pharma. Poloxamer 188 is a surfactant with a longstanding history of use in pharmaceutical drugs, spanning dosage routes from oral to topical and parenteral administration. In the biomanufacturing space, it finds application not only as a surfactant for parenteral biological formulations, but also in cell culture as a shear stress protectant. Its specific surfactant properties make it effective at stabilizing proteins, as well as protecting cells from shear stress caused by agitation in a bioreactor. Poloxamer 188 has the ability to prevent cell shear stress due to its specific balance of hydrophobic PPO chain flanked by two blocks of hydrophilic PEO. However, impurities from the manufacturing process can compromise its performance, leading to detrimental effects on cell health and contributing to batch-batch inconsistency. On...
