Governor Josh Shapiro On Supporting Biomanufacturing In Pennsylvania
Bioprocess Online's coverage of Governor Josh Shapiro’s fireside chat with BIO CEO, John Crowley, at the 2025 BIO International Convention.
Industry leaders share their philosophy on reducing product failure, embracing AI, and building dynamic teams to stay ahead of the curve to bring curative CGT therapies to patients.
Just like people, some sponsor-CDMO partnerships can be matches made in heaven. Others, not so much. See what experts have to say about finding the right CDMO and building a successful partnership together.
New chief editor of Drug Discovery Online shares insights from BIO 2025’s global biotech gathering and spotlights the impacts to early-stage drug research.
It’s a large and universally recognizable CDMO, so this matters. Swiss-based powerhouse Lonza will increase its focus on biologics, and “advanced synthesis” including for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), cell and gene therapies (CGT), and mRNA therapeutics. Will other CDMOs follow suit? What's this say about the future of development outsourcing and our industry?
