An international group of experts met last year and exchanged their latest findings in bioprocessing technology at the
Sartorius Stedim Biotech Upstream and Downstream Technology Forum
, held at Sartorius College in Göttingen, Germany. This conference continues a more than decade-long tradition of bringing together leaders in bioprocess development and biomanufacturing operations from the world’s leading biopharmaceutical companies to explain how they are addressing the most important industry challenges.
Although conference presentations were divided as related to either upstream processing, downstream processing, or where upstream meets downstream, the goal was to show that process optimization relies on the integration of all operations. Higher cell titers and the efficiency of upstream unit systems directly affect downstream processing and purification. Optimized biomanufacturing is needed to shorten timelines, reduce costs, and reach the clinic quickly and confidently.
Developing highly productive, ...
