Trends in Single-Use Bioreactors

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.

In the second part of an interview for BioPharm International’s AAPS PharmSci 360 2026 coverage, Nanoform’s Chris Worrall shares 18-month stability data for a 414 mg/mL trastuzumab suspension and explains how ultra-high-concentration formulations could shorten administration and support at-home injection.

Anurag Rathore, PhD, professor of chemical engineering at IIT Delhi, explains how his team cuts monoclonal antibody costs without cutting purification steps, and why the $10-per-gram target could make antibodies viable for infectious disease and global access.

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.

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