Event Overview:

This presentation introduces a systematic, data-driven approach for assessing the developability of biologic therapeutics, with a focus on pre-formulation development. The workflow is designed to facilitate early risk identification and streamline the advancement of candidates through the development pipeline. A case study featuring a monoclonal antibody illustrates the application and impact of key developability assessment techniques. These include in silico profiling of colloidal and conformational stability, forced degradation studies, and formulation screening using design of experiments (DoE). The integration of predictive stability modeling and empirical stress testing across diverse excipient systems highlights the robustness and efficiency of the approach.


Key Learning Objectives:

  • Assess biologics developability using predictive and empirical tools
  • Understand the impact of in silico profiling, forced degradation, and formulation screening
  • Learn how to integrate modeling and stress data for informed formulation choices

Who Should Attend:

  • Any individual involved in the analysis, development, manufacturing, and quality control of biopharmaceutical products
