Key Takeaways From The 2024 Bioprocessing Summit
Editor Tyler Menichiello reflects on the topics and trends covered at this year's Bioprocessing Summit in Boston.
Where there is therapeutic demand, the industry will build capacity. But with ADCs, cytotoxic payloads and a fragmented contract manufacturing landscape make the path to clinical and commercial supply dauntingly complicated. Here's how the ADC manufacturing market is shaping up, and how it might ultimately shake out.
The wave of ADC (antibody-drug conjugate) development and manufacturing activity we’re currently witnessing, and importantly, the HPC (high-potency compounds) comprising the payloads in these therapies, demand thorough assessment of development and manufacturing facility design.
Half of respondents to a recent survey of biopharmaceutical companies said the greatest challenge in further growing industry acceptance of single-use technology—which now comprises an eye-popping 85% of non-commercial-scale biopharma manufacturing infrastructure—is the greater challenge in further growing industry acceptance of single-use technology
Experts from last month’s Cell & Gene Live event discuss practical ways to utilize emerging technologies.
