Accelerating Innovation for Traditional and Novel Therapeuti
Accelerating Innovation for Traditional and Novel Therapeutics Manufacturing
The Biomanufacturing industry has made tremendous progress over the past thirty years in increasing the available manufacturing capacity and number of new biologics available for treatments. Along the way, multiple innovations in feedstock, processes, equipment and regulations have facilitated the growth of this industry. However the current situation with increasing pressure on costs, quality and speed requires a bold new approach. With this in mind, a cross industry stakeholder consortium consisting of biomanufacturers, suppliers and academia, facilitated by The Biophorum Operations Group (BPOG) kicked off a major effort 2 years ago to agree on a Technology Development Strategy in order to address the challenges faced by this industry. This effort recently culminated in a freely downloadable Technology Roadmap. The key aspects of the Roadmap which the consortium hopes will lead to accelerated innovation will be presented during the session. The Technology Roadmap also identified the need in future for smaller, more flexible manufacturing facilities in order to address the need for personalized treatments for patients. Two case studies for personalized treatments involving traditional protein based therapies and novel autologous cell therapies will be presented during this session. Examples of how both traditional and novel treatments will leverage the Roadmap will be included.
