Taking The First Steps Towards Digitalizing Biopharma Development
AbbVie's head of biologics purification development and digitization teams, Moiz Diwan, Ph.D., and independent technology consultant Kat Kozyrytska share their thoughts on AI and smart technology adoption in this recap of the Bioprocess Online Live event, “How Digital Tools Are Accelerating Biopharma Development.”
Bioprocess Online's chief editor, Tyler Menichiello, reflects on the year and provides a preview of what to expect in 2026.
Chief Editor Louis Garguilo says he's sure some readers will smirk at our headline. CDMOs are running a business; they may attempt to treat all customers equally, but they focus where the most financial gain is. That's usually with bigger clients. Nonetheless, according to a very experienced outsourcing professional, there's nothing humorous here at all.
New FDA draft guidance aims to reduce the timeline and cost of developing biosimilars.
Experts discuss innovation in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology and how these impact CMC strategy. This summary captures key takeaways from the Bioprocess Online Live event "Evolving CMC Strategies To Enable Next-Gen ADCs."
