Throughput Analysis and Debottlenecking of Biomanufacturing Facilities ? A Job for Process Simulators
by Demetri Petrides, Alexandros Koulouris, and Charles Siletti, Intelligen, Inc. Bottlenecks are everywhere, from the freeway overpass during the morning commute to the long lines at the supermarket. But bottlenecks in a manufacturing process are bad for business. Computer models can help you eliminate those conditions or situations that retard your progress. Whether the goal is strategic planning, evaluating alternatives, purchasing equipment, appraising a facility, or optimizing production processes, simulation tools can improve your analysis.

Speaking at AAPS PharmSci 360, Dr Stephanie Johnson, a principal formulation scientist at Pfizer, details how platform formulations save time before commitment, shift risk downstream, and what AI tools need to earn trust.

In an interview for BioPharm International’s AAPS PharmSci 360 2026 coverage, Nanoform’s Chris Worrall shares 18-month stability data for a 440 mg/mL trastuzumab suspension and explains how ultra-high-concentration formulations could shorten administration and support at-home injection.

Industry experts discuss how reshoring, fill/finish capacity, and cold chain technology are shaping a more resilient biopharma supply chain.

Lonza's Visp expansion adds 3 multiproduct suites at up to 1200 L plus 500-L single-use capacity to scale commercial ADC production from 2028.

In the final part of a three-part interview, Anurag Rathore, PhD, professor of chemical engineering at IIT Delhi, explains how his team has cut monoclonal antibody costs toward $10 per gram and why process intensification will spread one unit operation at a time.

As part of BioPharm International’s AAPS PharmSci 360 2026 coverage, Nanoform’s Chris Worrall explains why stability and viscosity have kept antibody formulations below 200 mg/mL, and how a low-temperature particle engineering process and non-aqueous suspensions could support ultra-high concentrations.

All 9 patients treated with BB-301 gene therapy met formal response criteria for improved swallowing in an ongoing OPMD trial.
