Proteinâbased therapeutics, also known as biopharmaceuticals or biologics, span broad range of medicinal products including vaccines, peptides and monoclonal antibodies.
To ensure their viability as safe and high-quality commercial products, downstream processing is required. This involves filtration and removal of viral contaminants in the protein, then purification and concentration to enhance shelf-life, additionally the biopharmaceutical industry is developing methods to boost efficiency and reduce costs.
Efforts include transitioning from time-consuming, costly traditional methods such as batch testing to continuous and adaptive manufacturing solutions. While quality by design (QbD) frameworks and process analytical technology (PAT) offer advanced solutions, challenges around their implementation and regulatory compliance remain.
PAT facilitates realâtime monitoring and control by integrating advanced analytical tools and dataâdriven methodologies to optimise downstream processing. Additionally, innovations such as digital twins can improve process control and enable predictive analytics, supporting integration of realâtime release (RTR) of products.
In this virtual panel, industry experts will share practical insight for optimising pharmaceutical downstream workflows while integrating advanced systems like PAT to boost process efficiency for biological therapy production.
Attendees will gain insight on what to expect on the innovation front over 2026, requirements for complying with regulatory bodies and more.
Key learning points:
- Understand the growing importance of continuous manufacturing in the downstream bioproduction workflow
- Discover strategies to optimise product quality, safety and compliance throughout the downstream process
- Current industry innovations that support downstream processing of biologics
- Understand key monitoring and control challenges during downstream bioprocessing and how to overcome them
- Explore how analytical testing supports material qualification and ongoing monitoring
- Discover how real-time process insights can drive increased yield, improve consistency, and reduce process variability.
