FOCUS ON UPSTREAM MANUFACTURING

The Importance Of Upstream–Downstream Coordination

In this segment from the Bioprocess Online Live event “Optimizing Process Development Through Upstream And Downstream Integration,” our panelists discuss the challenges development teams face when upstream and downstream teams operate concurrently in a vacuum.

Why Cell Washing Is The Hidden Bottleneck In Gene-Edited Cell Therapy

Scaling up life-saving gene-edited cell therapies means tackling production inefficiencies. Overcoming the time-consuming and risky cell washing step is crucial for clinical and commercial success.

Metabolic Phenotype Preservation Of hMSCs In Stirred Tank Bioreactors

See how researchers demonstrated scalable hADSC expansion in stirred-tank bioreactors using microcarriers, achieving metabolic stability and consistent growth for cell therapy applications.

The Science Of Cell Line Development For Biologics

Selecting and engineering the right cell line is not simply a technical milestone; it is a strategic decision that shapes cost of goods, development timelines, and the overall probability of success.

Scaling MSC Therapies: Overcoming Cell Therapy Manufacturing Risks

Achieve scalable MSC manufacturing by implementing closed systems and modular scale-out strategies that minimize contamination risks and ensure consistent cellular stability and efficacy.

A PAT Tool For Biomass Measurement In An Upstream Process

Leverage process analytical technologies (PAT) to gain real-time insight into product quality, strengthen control strategies, and build more efficient, scalable manufacturing processes for future success.

From Black Box To Precision: A New Era Of Glycan Control

Glycoprotein therapies face variable glycan profiles. An alternative approach, IVGE, moves modification outside the cell for true molecular control, ensuring consistency and speed.

High-Throughput Screening For High-Performance Cell Culture Development

Learn about a high-throughput screening method that successfully optimized cell culture media, leading to a greater than 3-fold improvement in viral genome titer for AAV2 production.
