  12/10/2015

  December is coming to a close, which means a new year is right around the corner, bringing new challenges and new opportunities. I recently spoke to industry experts who offered some insight on the key trends in 2016 that are expected to shape the year ahead and have a significant impact on the future of biopharma.

• How Important Is The Single-Use Supplier Relationship?

  12/4/2015

  In a survey conducted by Pharma IQ for 2015, which captured the industry’s view on SUT and what challenges it faces, over 100 users were asked about their relationship with their SUT supplier. Of the most important factors identified when choosing a single-use supplier, 64 percent of respondents indicated that the relationship with the supplier ranks as the most important. How important is this as single-use technology adoption increases?

• Can Single-Use Technology Be Used In Protein Purification?

  11/25/2015

  Not all areas of the drug development process have been able to be transferred to a single-use platform. One of these areas is protein purification. I recently spoke with Iwan Roberts, chief operating officer and co-founder of Puridify, a company developing bioprocessing technologies for biomolecule manufacturing, about this challenge in the industry and what can be done to overcome it.

• What Can We Expect From The Immunotherapy Market In 2016?

  11/19/2015

  In a recent report, it was projected that the value of the immunotherapy market is expected to rise from today’s worth of $41 billion in 2015 to $80 billion by 2020. Today’s key trends in the industry will be instrumental in shaping this space and forging a path toward lower costs and increased innovation.

• J&J Collaboration Explores Technology With Potential To Revolutionize Drug Development

  10/9/2015

  If the method used to determine whether or not a protein is a viable target for drug development were improved, pharmaceutical companies could potentially avoid the losses associated with finding out too late that a drug has harmful side effects and/or a lack efficacy. So how can pharma do this? Well, fortunately for them, some new technologies are now available to enhance their ability to select and evaluate safer targets in improved cell systems.
