Event Overview
The bio/pharma industry is building on the small successes of continuous manufacturing (CM) for the advanced manufacture of bio/pharmaceuticals. With FDA throwing its support behind CM as part of a bigger initiative to progress advanced technologies for biopharma manufacturing, it remains to be seen whether CM technologies will see an uptick in adoption within the industry. In this episode of Pharmaceutical Technology’s Drug Digest Video Series, PharmTech editors Chris Spivey and Feliza Mirasol discuss with industry experts the advantages and savings that CM may offer as well as the very real obstacles that might make a fully continuous process not feasible, especially in biologics manufacturing.
