SPONSOR

When manufacturing matters

A promising therapy is only part of the equation. Consistent, reliable manufacturing is essential to bring it to patients.

FOCUS ON UPSTREAM MANUFACTURING

The Hidden Engineering Behind Successful Upstream Bioprocessing

In upstream biopharmaceutical production, manufacturing is inseparable from biology, engineering, contamination control, and quality science.

Characterizing Gene-Edited T Cells Using High-Throughput Expression

Gene expression profiling reveals whether engineered T cells display intended molecular changes while helping identify unwanted effects. See how a standardized workflow can improve consistency.

Transforming Gene Therapy With A Scalable Platform Solution

Discover how a platform approach to AAV manufacturing can reduce development time and cost, as well as how optimized processes enable reliable production and scalable implementation in bioreactors.

High-Yield Cell Therapy Bioproduction

Producing billions of dental pulp stem cells strains static culture and complicates harvest. A closed planar perfusion approach offers another route, with scale-up lessons from one developer.

A Novel Approach To Eliminate Light Chain Mispairing

Engineering heavy and light chain constant regions can prevent light chain mispairing in bispecifics, letting sequences move from discovery to manufacturable formats without reengineering.

A Practical Guide To Process Development From Shake Flask To Scale-Up

Scaling mammalian cell culture requires more than volume changes. Uncover why managing oxygen, pH, CO₂, and data consistency is critical to avoid failed transfers and ensure reproducible performance.

Faster Clones, Simpler Process: What's Changing In CHO Expression?

This presentation examines how enhanced glutamine synthetase selection stringency, combined with a high-strength gene promoter, provides greater control over gene expression and supports CLD.

Beyond Fed-Batch: Choosing The Right Path To Process Intensification

Upstream intensification options, from concentrated fed-batch to N-stage perfusion, are weighed against organizational objectives, since no single technical strategy suits every framework.

Intensification Of Upstream Operations With Dynamic Perfusion

Dynamic perfusion simplifies continuous cell culture by eliminating cell bleed. Compare upstream strategies across productivity to understand their potential for more efficient mAb production.

iPSC Aggregate Culture In Bioreactors Equipped With 8-Blade Impellers

Controlled aggregation, oxygen management, and scalable workflows drive consistent iPSC expansion. Parallelized systems and precise parameter control improve reproducibility for faster optimization.
