Main Conference: 28-30 April 2026 | Vienna, Austria
Cell Culture & Upstream Processing
Intensifying upstream processes and de-risking scale-up with digital tools.
Go Beyond Theory in Upstream Manufacturing
The Cell Culture & Upstream Processing track is a 3-day program focused on boosting productivity and robustness from the bioreactor. This track delivers practical case studies on implementing N-1 perfusion, leveraging smart PAT tools like Raman, and de-risking the tech transfer journey from the bench to 20,000L. Hear from global leaders on how they are optimizing media and scaling processes for complex modalities like AAV and antibody-based therapies.
Track Themes: A Blueprint for Upstream Excellence
Scale-Up & Tech Transfer
Get proven strategies for robust scale-up to 20,000L and learn how to successfully de-risk tech transfer to external partners and CDMOs.
The Smart Bioreactor
Go inside the smart bioreactor and see how leaders are using in-line PAT like Raman and in silico digital twins to enable predictive, real-time process control.
Media & Intensification
Learn how to supercharge your existing facility with N-1 perfusion and optimize your chemically defined media and feed strategies using predictive modelling.
Mastering Complex Modalities
Move beyond mAbs and discover the unique upstream process development strategies required for drug delivery vectors like exosomes and AAV, as well as antibody-based modalities like ADCs.
Innovators Sharing Upstream Excellence
Learn directly from the technical experts and process development leaders who are intensifying and digitizing upstream manufacturing.
