The Best of the West: Defining the Future of Bioprocessing
From Cell Line Development to Commercial Manufacturing: The Gateway to Integrated Bioprocessing Systems, Technical Breakthroughs & Expert Networking
The Must-Attend Event in 2027 for Bioprocessing Innovators
Cell Line Development and Engineering
- Convert fragmented CLD data into reusable process intelligence with standardized metadata and analytics to compress cycles, reduce experiments, and speed confident clone decisions.
- Engineer hosts and vectors for complex modalities to lift productivity, mitigate product-quality liabilities, and link early behavior to CQAs and manufacturability to prevent late rework.
- Build faster, lower-risk CLD organizations with automation, high-throughput screening, and cross-functional governance that accelerate timelines without compromising scale-up success.
Cell Culture and Upstream Processing
- Build robustness that transfers by optimizing media, feeds, and metabolism and by validating scale-down models to improve reproducibility and scale-up readiness beyond titer alone.
- Bring product-quality insight in line with PAT, at-line analytics, soft sensors, and feedback control to shorten learning loops and stabilize CQAs in real time.
- Cut experiments and touch time using AI-assisted DOE, high-throughput platforms, and automation to accelerate decisions, reduce FTE burden, and enable confident intensification.
Downstream Processing
- Unblock the harvest bottleneck and evolve capture/polish platforms for complex molecules to maintain yields and impurity control as upstream intensifies.
- Use mechanistic models, digital twins, and structured data to make validation-ready decisions tied to specific CQAs, accelerating development and de-risking lifecycle changes.
- Design for end use with high-concentration processing and a strong DS–DP interface, applying phase-appropriate strategies and targeted automation to speed to clinic without costly redesigns.
Accelerating Speed from Early Development to Commercial
- Reach first-in-human faster by leveraging platforms, parallelization, and early manufacturability screens while embedding transfer-ready packages to avoid late-stage rework.
- Digitize CMC execution with electronic batch records, integrated data flows, and AI-assisted documentation and knowledge retrieval to remove friction in tech transfer and filings.
- Treat comparability, validation, and commercial readiness as early design inputs—align specs, robustness, and site fit with evolving ICH guidance under a clear operating model.
Next-Gen Modality, Cell Therapy, and Gene Therapy
- Industrialize cell therapy with fit-for-scale bioreactors, robust expansion and harvest, and phase-appropriate GMP and raw-material strategies to reduce variability and audit risk.
- Strengthen viral and nucleic acid production by improving vector yield/purity and full-to-empty control, scaling mRNA/plasmid/LNP manufacturing, and applying ML where it drives consistency.
- Reduce COGS and scale risk via platform standardization and value-chain design, then select portfolio bets by manufacturability, economics, and regulatory path to raise commercial success odds.
Tailored Bioprocessing Pre-Conference Workshops
- Workshop 1: Tech Transfer Done Better: Reducing Friction, Risk, and Delay Across Sites and Partners
- Workshop 2: Process Intensification: What Is Working Now and What Comes Next
- Workshop 3: AI, Data, and Digital Transformation in Bioprocessing: From Hype to Measurable Value
