INTERACTIVE ROUNDTABLE SESSION - Breaking Down the Silos: A Cross-Functional Attack on Biopharma's Grand Challenges

Join this dynamic, peer-led session to tackle biopharma's biggest challenges. Choose a table and engage in an open discussion to share insights and find collaborative solutions.


Choose Your Topic:

  • The USP-DSP Handshake: Debate how to create a truly integrated process to solve downstream bottlenecks caused by upstream intensification.
  • Validating AI in a GMP World: Tackle the practical steps and regulatory risks for validating AI/ML in a GMP environment.
  • Is The 'Platform' Dead for Downstream?: Discuss the future of purification beyond the traditional mAb platform for novel modalities like bispecifics and ADCs.
  • Learning from History: What ATMPs can Learn from mAbs: When will cell and gene therapies have their "CHO moment"? Explore key lessons to accelerate ATMP industrialization.
  • The ATMP COGS Crisis: Brainstorm radical solutions to drive down the commercially unsustainable manufacturing costs for cell and gene therapies.
  • The Sustainability Mandate: Discuss the practical implementation of sustainability as it moves from a "nice-to-have" to a regulatory and business imperative.
  • Emerging Markets & Global Supply: Discuss the challenges and opportunities of building biomanufacturing capacity and supply chains in emerging markets.
