Anurag Rathore, PhD, professor of chemical engineering at IIT Delhi, explains how his team is making antibody manufacturing more efficient and replacing costly raw materials to cut monoclonal antibody costs to about $10 per gram.
Rohit Tripathi, vice president of industry strategy, consumer packaged goods, and manufacturing at RELEX Solutions, explains where cold-chain planning still breaks down and why biopharma supply chain leaders should use AI to act on data sooner, with humans making the final call.
Rohit Tripathi, vice president of industry strategy, consumer packaged goods, and manufacturing at RELEX Solutions, explains what is driving biopharma reshoring, how USMCA uncertainty complicates sourcing for biologics, and where cold-chain visibility still breaks down.
Emily Heffernan, director of new process technologies at Arcadis, explains what it takes to design a facility that can produce both lentiviral vectors and mRNA-LNPs, and how in vivo platforms change QC release testing.
Merck and Kelun’s sac-TMT extends overall survival in pretreated endometrial cancer, Bristol Myers Squibb reports interim data and a patient death in its phase 1 CAR-T trial in multiple sclerosis, and BioNTech and DualityBio’s HER2 ADC meets its phase 3 goal but with limited expected benefit.
Full Phase 3 TroFuse-005 data presented at ESMO 2026 show the TROP2-directed ADC sacituzumab tirumotecan cut the risk of death by 32% vs chemotherapy, and an FDA decision is expected by June 2027.
BioNTech and DualityBio's HER2-directed ADC modestly improved progression-free survival over chemotherapy in DYNASTY-Breast02, but higher interstitial lung disease rates and an established competitor limit its potential in this setting.
