With the implementation of personalized medicine resulting in drugs for specific, high-responder subsets of patients, market volume per drug will decrease. In addition, increasing fermentation titers of up to 10 g/L for MAbs are leading to smaller fermentation volumes necessary to accommodate individual biopharmaceutical market demands. That results in approaches such as flexible production in campaigns or decentralization of manufacturing using similar facilities with low risk…
