There have been many recent advances in high throughput (HT) technologies for upstream development, enabling processes to be developed in a fraction of the time compared with conventional methods. However, when applying this technology to biotherapeutic drug development, the suitability of the systems for developing large scale manufacturing processes and meeting regulatory demands needs to be demonstrated and ensured. Inclusive approaches encapsulating platform expression systems and fermentation technologies, parallel bioreactor systems, high throughput analytics and sophisticated design and data handling…
