Biopharmaceutical Analysis

Yelena Ionova, Pharm.D., Redica Systems, discusses how benchmarking inspection data, strengthening sterile manufacturing controls, and adopting continuous regulatory intelligence strategies can help cell and gene therapy manufacturers improve inspection readiness and quality system performance.

Yelena Ionova, Pharm.D., Redica Systems, described how FDA and EMA standards for cell and gene therapy chemistry, manufacturing, and controls are increasingly aligned, yet manufacturers continue to struggle with basic GMP elements such as quality oversight, sterile processing, and staff training. She emphasized that newer CGT facilities have a critical opportunity to design quality systems and data integrity controls correctly from the outset to avoid costly remediation later.

Multi-attribute LC–MS methods improve characterization of complex bioconjugates, supporting scalable and regulatory-ready biotherapeutic development, says Agilent Technologies’ Dr. Ganesh Bala, who spoke at the 2026 AAPS National Biotechnology Conference.

The opening plenary session at this year’s AAPS National Biotechnology Conference will spotlight AI and NAMs as tools that advance predictive toxicology and human-relevant models to improve drug safety and translational research.
