FDA will review GSK’s application to expand the use of its respiratory syncytial virus vaccine, Arexvy, to adults aged 18–49 who are at increased risk.

Imagine a world where cleanroom facilities—essential for pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, and high-tech industries—are built with unparalleled speed, precision, and efficiency. That world is here, thanks to the hybrid construction approach. By blending traditional stick-built methods with modular and prefabricated solutions, companies are overcoming the limitations of conventional construction while ensuring compliance with stringent industry regulations. In this interview, we explore how hybrid cleanroom construction is transforming the industry, offering faster project timelines, improved quality control, and significant cost advantages. Join us as we delve into this game-changing approach with industry experts who are leading the charge in revolutionizing cleanroom infrastructure.

The consortium will focus on the delivery of a fully automated robotics cell and gene therapy manufacturing platform.

In this episode, we explore BIOVECTRA’s capabilities in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) manufacturing, from complex conjugation chemistry to synthesis of highly potent payloads. We’ll also showcase how BIOVECTRA’s extensive experience in complex chemistries and specialized small molecule manufacturing gives them a unique perspective, strengthening their approach to ADC production and ensuring clients receive custom solutions across all project stages.

Increased capacity will help Circio progress development of circVec AAV gene therapy and in-vivo cell therapy, with the company setting a goal of selecting its first therapeutic candidate in 2026.

Biocon said that, according to clinical data, both Vevzuo and Evfraxy demonstrated a safety and efficacy profile comparable to that of the reference product.
