Balancing Risk, Speed, and Cost in Biopharmaceutical Process Development & Manufacturing



WEBINAR

Biotech organizations can encounter a variety of challenges, both expected and unexpected, during biopharmaceutical development. Anticipating and mitigating these challenges will ensure that the process development and manufacturing timelines and deliverables will be maintained. In this webinar industry experts will provide insights on how biotech organizations and their CDMO partners can effectively plan and execute a successful drug development program, from pre-clinical to IND. Two case studies will be presented that illustrate how analytical and process development activities are performed to meet timelines and process needs.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • Strategies used and activities performed to achieve high-concentration formulation to address client’s testing needs.
  • Analytical and process development strategies that reduce the time required to produce biologics, while balancing risk and cost.
