Hot topics at BioProcess International US West 2026
How can we use AI or digital twins to accelerate bioprocess scale-up and reduce risk?
Digital twins and AI/ML models are transforming scale-up by predicting process outcomes and identifying risks before they impact production. This enables faster, safer tech transfers and optimized manufacturing.
What are the latest strategies for high-titer upstream processes and their impact on downstream bottlenecks?
Advances in high-titer upstream processes can create bottlenecks downstream, but strategies such as optimized perfusion and purification integration help maintain yield and efficiency.
What manufacturing challenges are currently faced in cell & gene therapy (CGT) production?
CGT production faces scale, cost, and regulatory hurdles. Sessions cover AAV manufacturing, quality control, and strategies to enable commercial-scale production.
How is cell line development evolving to improve productivity and reduce timelines?
Automation, robotics, and predictive modelling are accelerating clone selection and enhancing productivity while maintaining product quality.
How can data-driven strategies improve biomanufacturing control?
What are current approaches to downstream processing of high-titer biologics?
Optimized purification train design, resin management, and process intensification help maintain yield and quality in high-titer manufacturing environments.
How is Bioprocessing 4.0 enhancing supply chain and manufacturing resilience?
Integration of robotics, MES, and cloud-based data pipelines enables smarter, more resilient biomanufacturing, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
