Bioprocessing

Bioprocessing uses a complete living cell, or their components, to obtain or create a desired pharmaceutical product. Recent scientific advancements have led to biopharmaceuticals being the fastest growing drug type, leading to rapid process and equipment advances. Below you can explore editorial articles, webinars, informational resources, and products curated to keep you up to date with bioprocessing advancements.

Editorial Articles

  • Microbial Risk Management in Aseptic Processing - Did Bill Whyte Get it Right?

    This commentary highlights how the advances in technology, risk assessment, and regulatory guidelines have excluded human intervention in aseptic filling, improving both product quality and patient safety. The risk of microbiological contamination during aseptic processing during the past four decades is largely a reflection of technological ... read more

  • Recent Advances in Pharmaceutical Microbiology and Ongoing Challenges

    Pharmaceutical microbiology is a rapidly evolving discipline that plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of pharmaceutical products. The last few years have witnessed significant innovations in techniques and methods, often driven by the need for faster drug development, stricter regulatory requirements, and the ... read more

  • Recombinant Lysate Manufacture: Considerations for Contamination Control

    Pyrogens in general (including lipoteichoic acids, CpG DNA, viruses, and flagellin), and Gram-negative bacteria that release endotoxin, present a risk for pharmaceutical products that are administered in ways that bypass the body’s natural defenses, especially those that are infused into the bloodstream. This concern exists since endotoxin ... read more

  • Introduction to End-to End Integrated Continuous Biomanufacturing

    End-to-end (E2E) continuous biomanufacturing refers to the integrated, uninterrupted process for producing biologics, such as monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, and enzymes, directly from raw materials to the final product. This system contrasts with traditional batch processes that have discrete stages, starting and stopping for each batch. read more

  • About Measles, Vaccines, and Mom

    When I was about 5 or 6, I got sick. I mean really sick. High fever, rash; the stuff of parents’ nightmares. I remember some of it – being driven to the doctor’s offi ce while lying down in the back seat of my mother’s car, having to go in through the back entrance of the doctor’s offi ce so as not to expose anyone in the waiting room, spending the... read more

  • Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are Leading the Future of Regenerative Medicine

    Stem cell therapies are transforming the approach to degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. Among the many stem cell types currently being explored for this application, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated a significant therapeutic advantage. read more
