Streamline Microbial Process Development To Reach Toxicology Trials Faster

By Steve Loftus, Microbial Business Steering Group Lead

Microbial fermentation offers a compelling route for developing biologics, holding significant advantages for both patients and manufacturer thanks to fast processing times and cost-effective approaches when compared to traditional methods. However, it's not without its challenges. Microbial-based products are often complex molecules with unique attributes. They necessitate the development of specific, non-standardized processes for purification, demanding specialists to adapt approaches effectively.

For many startups and small biotech firms relying on venture capital or private equity funding, reaching their toxicology trial stage is a critical hurdle. This step often unlocks access to additional resources needed for further development. Thus, opting to collaborate with a CDMO that has expertise in microbial fermentation is crucial; their knowledge and experience help streamline the process development journey, especially for complex biologics.
