Vertex On Building Risk Into Manufacturing Network Strategy

Supply disruptions are becoming harder to predict. Explore practical strategies for continuity planning, supplier risk management, and network design to build lasting resilience.

 

 

Understanding The Lean Biosimilar Model

Characterized by fewer studies, deeper characterization, and integrated process design, the lean biosimilar development model expands market access and brings treatment options to patients faster.

 

A CFD-Based Hybrid Modeling Approach For pCO2 Prediction

Computational fluid dynamics and metabolic modeling predict gas transfer more accurately than volumetric metrics, improving mammalian cell culture scale-up and process control.

 

Rapid Release Testing Starts With Faster Contaminant Detection

Switch to rapid sequencing-based contaminant detection to accelerate advanced therapy release timelines, minimize batch rejection risks, and bypass slow, culture-based testing methods.

 

BIOSECURE, Tariffs, And The New CDMO Reality For Biopharma Innovators

Secure domestic or diversified biopharma manufacturing to protect therapeutic development from supply chain disruptions, rising costs, and legislative tariff impacts.

 

Direct Scale Up From Clone To 2K GMP Batches

N-1 perfusion technology increased antibody titers 1.5–4.5x over conventional fed-batch methods. See how high seed density and media blending cut costs and maximize suite utilization.

 

How We Deliver The Promise Of CDMO Partnership For Biotechs

Development partnerships start with early alignment, transparency, and shared accountability, reducing risk, improving scalability, and supporting success as programs advance.

 

A Smart Investment: Cell And Gene Feasibility That Prepares You For Success

Delve into why investing in a comprehensive feasibility program for GOI testing is not just beneficial, but absolutely essential for cell and gene therapy companies.

 

The Difficulties Of Working With Multiple Siloed Partners

By working with a single supplier that can handle the entire manufacturing value chain, companies can reduce risk, improve flexibility, and accelerate their time to market.

 

Navigating Bioconjugate Development

Iwan Bertholjotti, director of commercial bioconjugate development, and Dr. Bernhard Stump, head of bioconjugate development, discuss complexity and uncertainty in the bioconjugates market.
