Following her presentation at Advanced Therapies Europe, Charlotte Serra navigates the complexities of decentralised cell therapy manufacturing.
Precision control for target protein degraders
Target protein degraders offer therapeutic potential, yet their high potency, poor solubility and ultra-low administered doses place significant demands on formulation science, analytical capability, containment and scalable manufacture. Successful development requires solubility enhancement, particle engineering, excipient design, high-potency containment and process development to be considered together from the earliest programme stages.
Nitrosamines: from detection to understanding
Manufacturers are facing a new generation of nitrosamine challenges as NDSRIs demand more sophisticated analytical and risk management strategies.
Redefining the standard for recessed lighting in the pharmaceutical industry
Pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing facilities present some of the most demanding lighting challenges in industry, combining explosive atmospheres, stringent hygiene requirements and complex regulatory requirements. Raytec examines how explosion-protected LED solutions are redefining safety, performance and compliance across hazardous area applications.
Closing the data integrity gap in pharmaceutical quality control
Pharmaceutical quality control laboratories face growing pressure to strengthen data integrity as regulators scrutinise incomplete records, manual data entry, and disconnected systems.
Transforming mycoplasma testing for faster biotherapeutic quality control
As biotherapeutic manufacturing accelerates, rapid PCR-based methods are enabling manufacturers to detect mycoplasma contamination sooner. However, realising their full potential requires robust validation, risk-based implementation and integration with a wider contamination-control strategy.
CHO perfusion model lifts yield by letting cellular waste build up
A hybrid model built into commercial software and running a self-driving bioreactor has found that unmeasured cellular waste, not the usual metabolites, throttles perfusion yields.
