Why speed and flexibility matter now more than ever

20 October 2025 | By

The balance between speed, scale, and compliance has never been more critical. As GLP-1s, biosimilars, and advanced therapies reshape global priorities, pharma leaders face a new question: how can manufacturing infrastructure evolve fast enough to keep pace?

Expert View: What ADC evolution means for manufacturing

19 December 2018 | By ,

The evolution of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) is a spectacular example of how global research can sculpt a new technology. Years of molecular and cell biology, conjugation chemistry and immunology progress has enabled a cytotoxic agent paired with a tumour-specifi c antibody to become mainstream cancer therapy.1 Today, advances continue, explains…

17 December 2018 | By

In this issue: Navigating roadblocks to clinical success: decision-making from molecule to clinic, Raman spectroscopy for the qualitative analysis of falsified and substandard medicines, and an overview of risk assessments for elemental impurities: implementation of ICH Q3D guidelines.

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy: predicting stability in lyophilised biological products

2 November 2018 | By , ,

The emergence of biological drugs has led to an increase in lyophilised drug products in the market. Lyophilisation is a technique used to stabilise parenteral formulations in a solid form with the goal of producing chemically and physically stable, homogeneous, and high-quality lyo-products.

LC-MS based multi-attribute method for characterisation and QC testing of protein therapeutics

2 November 2018 | By

For several decades mass spectrometry (MS) has been used in the characterisation of protein pharmaceuticals.1-3 However, its use in the laboratory for quality control (QC) product release testing has been quite limited for a number of reasons, for example: instrument complexity and software are not readily amenable to validation, extensive…

Integrating data from QC and Production to enable fast, informed decisions

2 November 2018 | By

Managing the vast amounts of data involved in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and quality control workflows is often challenging due to the use of multiple stand-alone systems and devices that can act as information silos. However, with the need for tighter control of collected data, due to an increased regulatory focus, safeguarding…
