From Concept to Market – Unique approaches in Biomanufacturing

Abstract:

With the rapid growth of the biotherapeutics industry, the need and challenge for high quality, cost efficient production has been increasing as well. At the same time, the number of approved biologics products are also steadily increasing, and more and more products are being developed by small to mid-size biotech companies, with product market size that vary greatly and therefore leading to varying production scale needs. The presentation will talk about the paradigm shifts in today’s facility design and operations, with multi-purpose facility and smaller, modular facility being favored by many companies. In addition, rapid adoption of disposable technology has enabled faster and lower cost facility design & start-up. With the modular, disposable technologies, the unique “scale-out” approach has the advantage of providing highest flexibility to customers while simultaneously lowering tech transfer and scale-up risks. The presentation will also cover the continuous bioprocessing concept and share WuXi’s efforts on this area.
