Can A Biotech Create A CDMO Market?
Can a biotech create a CDMO market? GeoVax, an infectious disease/oncology biotech, may have just done so. David Dodd, CEO, believes we should all concentrate more on whether the outsourcing model can align with evolving technology platforms. Both sponsors and CDMOs may need to change things up.
Bioprocess Online caught up with Tiffany D. Rau, Ph.D., CMC consultant and adjunct professor of biochemistry and cell biology at the University College Cork in Ireland, at Oxford Global's 2026 NextGen Biomed conference.
Coordinating unit operations can help reduce costs and mitigate challenges in process development. Check out these key takeaways from the Bioprocess Online Live event “Optimizing Process Development Through Upstream and Downstream Integration.”
It sets off a real tension – ideological, economic, even personal. But what would happen if the U.S. government cut direct financial support for “biotechnology research,” leaving it entirely to investors, private and public markets, and bigger pharma? "Our industry’s mind-meld says with no government largesse our biotech industry collapses," writes Chief Editor Louis Garguilo. It's an "outlandish hypothetical," but he asks for a few minutes to go through this. And he has help in making his case.
“I assist C-suite executives to transfer quality from a painful cost center to a competitive asset." It's the type of bold statement that draws one's attention. Chief Editor Louis Garguilo asked David Grote on what his assertion means materially – and how that’s applied to working with CDMOs. Here's their discussion that focuses on a transformation that moves executives from regarding quality as ‘overhead’ to recognizing quality as “an operational element for business advantage.”
