In response to the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the emergence of RNA vaccine technology has enabled rapid development of critical vaccines. Traditional vaccine production methods makerapid development challenging, requiring cell line production of viral proteins and laborious purification development, which requires extensive effort and long timelines. RNA…
German oncology clinics are working with Optima Pharma to create an automated manufacturing unit for decentralised production of CAR T-cell therapies in treatment centres.
Here, Dr Matthew McMurray and Dr J Andrew Jones of Miami University explain why psychedelic drugs are attracting R&D as potential treatments for neuropsychiatric and degenerative disorders and how their discovery of an in vivo production technique could enable further advancement.
Research shows the complexity and number of biologics is increasing, as is the frequency at which their active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production is outsourced.
Market research shows the adoption of process analytical technologies and investment in pharma R&D and healthcare will drive growth in the real-time bioprocess Raman analyser market.
Phase III data shows Seqirus’ cell-based quadrivalent seasonal influenza vaccine was as effective and safe as an equivalent FDA-approved egg-based vaccine in paediatric patients.
A paper shows implementing riboregulated switchable feedback promoters enables cells to produce the precursors for potentially toxic chemotherapeutic and anti-malarial drugs.
Enriching cell-free gene expression system extracts with membrane bound vesicles can significantly increase their ability to produce protein-based products, shows study.
Biopharmaceuticals have transformed the patient care landscape, but alongside this step change in treatment capability comes the need for a similar paradigm shift in manufacturing capability. Here, Maik W Jornitz, President & CEO of G-CON Manufacturing Inc. highlights how cleanroom infrastructure must develop to keep pace with ever evolving industry needs.
In this article, Charles River Associates (CRA) delves into why traditional vaccine procurement schemes are not fit for purpose during the pandemic and how both governments and manufacturers must adapt to manage the greater level of risk associated with pandemic vaccine development and distribution.
The FDA has requested Emergent’s Bayview plant be closed and vaccine production halted while the agency investigates potential good manufacturing practice (GMP) violations.
Plasma-derived therapies and medicines provide life-changing treatments for patients around the world who suffer from serious, and often rare, diseases that affect the immune system or result from non-functioning proteins in blood plasma. Carole Resman, Executive Vice President Production at LFB, describes the complex and highly regulated manufacturing process of…
