As the drive towards targeted cost-effective biopharmaceuticals continues, improving flexibility and agility while getting more output from existing facilities through process intensification has become more important. Join us for a series of process intensification webinars covering upstream, downstream, buffer management, and automation and digitalization to help you find the best strategies for tomorrow.
Our series begins with connected manufacturing and upstream intensification strategies. Watch this space for upcoming webinars on intensifying chromatography, buffer management, and automation.
Intensified upstream operations with Xcellerex APS automated perfusion system
An on-demand webinar by Radhika Jayakar, Senior product manager, Cytiva
Process intensification and implementation of perfusion technologies can help provide greater efficiency to upstream operations. This presentation will describe how a fully automated, single-use perfusion system can mitigate many of the challenges currently faced when implementing perfusion processes at production scale.
In this webinar you will learn:
• Different ways to intensify cell culture operations
• How Xcellerex APS takes risky manual operations out of perfusion applications
• That a fully integrated perfusion operation can be implemented using standard systems
With a Master’s in biotechnology, Radhika has been in the Consumer Products and Biopharma industry for the last 17 years. She has had a diverse career with roles in research and development, business development, and product management. Her focus over the last 3 years, as New Product Introductions Leader within Cytiva, has been in the Continuous Bioprocessing segment. Here she has led the devolvement of Xcellerex APS from product concept through to commercialization.
Implementation of process intensification strategies across the entire cell culture workflow
An on-demand webinar by Andreas Castan, Ph.D., Strategic Technology Collaborations Leader, Cytiva
This presentation will describe strategies to intensify upstream operations. We will discuss the latest trends across the industry in relation to process intensification and give specific examples of how both N-1 and N bioreactor operations can be intensified using the latest technologies. Furthermore, we will discuss the importance of cell culture media optimization prior to implementation of any new process.
In this webinar you will learn:
• The importance of cell culture media optimization in perfusion operations
• How intensified N-1 operations can increase facility utilization and productivity
• The pros and cons of various perfusion operations in the production bioreactor
Andreas Castan is Strategic Technology Partnerships Leader for Cytiva. In this role, Andreas provides leadership and support to the Bioprocess business. His main area of expertise is in upstream processing. Prior to joining Cytiva, Andreas was Director of Upstream Development at Swedish Orphan Biovitrum, working with development of expression systems, process development of microbial and mammalian cell-based processes, and scale-up to cGMP manufacturing scales. During the last 20 years, Andreas has held several positions within biopharmaceutical development, including project and line management as well as manufacturing.
Four steps toward connected biomanufacturing: a pragmatic approach to start-to-finish processing
An on-demand webinar by Avril Vermunt, Connected Biomanufacturing Program Manager, Cytiva
There is no misrepresentation in the potential of connected and continuous manufacturing. So why isn’t everyone adopting these benefit-packed processes? This presentation will share Cytiva's strategy for building confidence in technology and process knowledge. It will also address the regulatory expectations and business case examples for connected & continuous processes in biomanufacturing’s future.
In this webinar you will learn:
• A pragmatic approach to start-to-finish connected bioprocessing
• Process design strategies and its dependence on desired outcome
• Implementation and execution strategies
As a Connected Biomanufacturing Program leader, Avril brings strong experience from large-scale bioprocessing and a profound understanding of process intensification. Avril joined the GE Healthcare’s Life Sciences business, now Cytiva, in 2015 as a Bioprocess Hardware Specialist. She loves lending her large-scale bioprocess expertise to help colleagues select and implement process solutions that optimize efficiency and productivity. Her contributions have led to several successful tech transfers globally, including Amgen Singapore’s Next Generation Manufacturing facility. Prior to her time in Amgen’s process development organization, she worked in manufacturing and process engineering at Diosynth. She currently serves as an ISPE Rocky Mountain Chapter board director and a Facility of the Year Award (FOYA) committee chair and has been an ISPE member since joining the student chapter at North Carolina State University where she received her degree in Chemical Engineering. She is currently pursuing an Executive MBA at the University of Colorado.
