Bioproduction Pivots from Centralized to Regional Support

|
By Gail Dutton 
| Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
The global biopharma industry is placing increasing importance on regional support rather than only centralized expertise to help complex programs advance. A key benefit is access to local expertise in or near their time zone. The localization movement “is part of a global shift [in which] companies are assessing how they balance cost, quality, and risks across regions rather than relying on any single market,” Jessay Devassy, PhD, global R&D director, Ecolab Life Sciences, tells GEN.

Turning the Patent Cliff into a Bioplant Opportunity

|
By Gail Dutton 
| Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
The 2030 patent cliff may either decimate revenue streams or provide an opportunity for innovation that can transform the biopharmaceutical industry. As it stands today, some 200 biopharmaceuticals are scheduled to go off patent during the next four years, representing approximately $300 billion in revenue. That revenue hit can be softened if biopharma manufacturers replace traditional mammalian expression systems with a Lemna plant-based system.

By Gail Dutton 
| Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
A broad European industry/academic consortium, Inno4Vac, has developed a robust, open-source modeling platform that unifies upstream and downstream models and predicts product stability, all within a single environment. Unlike many open-source modeling programs, this one, called CADET-Hub, doesn’t need mad programming skills to use.
