The Real Threat To Biopharma Supply Chains: Bioprocessing Materials
The COVID-19 induced risk to biopharma is not a shortage of pharmaceutical ingredients. It’s the constricting supply of consumable materials and equipment necessary to produce therapies from them. Mike Piccarreta, Partner at Kearney, offers an outlook and practical advice on supply stabilization in this BioProcess Online exclusive.

Merck Assesses Single Use: Does It Make Sense At A Large Scale?
In an industry as conservative as the pharmaceutical industry, it is common practice to be adverse to new technologies because they are often viewed as too much of a risk. However, in this effort to play it safe, companies force themselves into a repetitive state of employing technologies that may not be the most efficient or effective. Rather than getting stuck in old habits — or conversely, jumping too quickly into new ones — Merck has put together a group of teams it calls the Technology Encouragement Collaborators, or TEC, to look at new technologies and determine whether or not to implement them.

Improving DNA Removal from Bioprocess Purification Processes
Many new biological drug products produced using recombinant DNA technology, such as monoclonal antibodies, are produced in cell culture. Because therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies are produced in cell culture, impurities can result from the host cells, or cell substrates. By 3M Purification Inc.
