08.17.26 -- The Importance Of Upstream–Downstream Coordination

SPONSOR

The body as a bioreactor

What if therapeutic production could move from the facility into the patient? Explore how advances in lipid nanoparticle design, delivery science, and manufacturing are helping bring the body-as-a-bioreactor vision closer to reality—and reshaping what may be possible for genomic medicine.

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.

Effects Of Sequence Fidelity On Cloning Efficiency

dsDNA fragments speed up cloning but introduce variability that can affect results. Comparing fragment fidelity, efficiency, and design considerations helps researchers choose the right approach.

In-Line Monitoring Of Culture Medium Using Live Cell Metabolic Analyzer

Continuous in-line monitoring of glucose and lactate levels provides highly accurate, real-time data on cellular metabolism without the risks or data gaps associated with manual periodic sampling.

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.

Achieving Rapid, High-Titer Expression For Next-Generation Biologics

See how tunable expression technology achieves optimal chain pairing and high titers for complex biologics, from four-chain bispecifics to difficult-to-express proteins, using platform processes.

In Vitro Glycoengineering (IVGE) Process And Optimization

Learn how cell-free, post-fermentation glycoengineering separates glycan optimization from protein yield, offering tighter control over N-linked glycan structures in therapeutic proteins.

Achieve Higher AAV Productivity With A Transfection Reagent

Learn about a next-generation transfection system that requires 50% less plasmid, decreases transfection reagent consumption, and yields higher AAV productivity to reduce cost per dose.

Optimizing VLP Manufacturing For Gene Editing

Explore how a novel approach to VLP manufacturing can overcome common scalability and consistency issues, enabling high yields and potent gene editing in a single day.
