Do Modeling and Simulation Tools Really Benefit the Biosimilar Industry?

The concept of end-to-end adoption of modeling and simulation tools for biopharmaceuticals process development is still seen with mixed views across industry professionals. The lack of standard analytics frameworks leads to suboptimal output and limits their widespread applicability. Additionally, the business impact of these tools is poorly understood because of the dearth of case studies on them. In this article, the authors present a business case study to investigate the returns from these tools. The authors also extrapolate the benefits to the overall drug development timelines and portfolio for the biosimilars industry.
