Navigating the Biopharmaceutical Regulatory Pathway: Replacing Undefined Raw Materials with Chemically-defined Substitutes

by

With market demands increasing, biopharmaceutical producers are constantly looking for ways to enhance product quality while reducing costs and risk. One way to meet these changing demands is to replace animal-derived supplements with chemically-defined substitutes. In this educational webcast, Dr. Michael Titus, Director of Quality Management and Regulatory Compliance with BD Biosciences, outlines the regulatory pathway involved in making such a switch. Dr. Titus will discuss:

• A background on the uses of supplements in the cell culture production process;
• Change control & risk management;
• And the regulatory path of making the switch to chemically-defined supplements.

Join Dr. Titus as he demonstrates how chemically-defined supplements can boost performance, reduce risk and increase consistency in commercially marketed biopharmaceutical products.

Global Material Harmonization for Increased Effectiveness and Reduced Risk

by

As geographic distances continue to metaphorically shrink, there is an increased focus on improving operational effectiveness. But, in order to increase effectiveness, it is important to understand and mitigate risk. In this on-demand webcast, Ben Locwin of Lonza Biologics demonstrates how material harmonization can help reduce risk and increase effectiveness by allowing:

• Use of one material specification
• Shared testing
• Shared raw material qualifications
• And more.

View this webcast to learn more about how synchronization of raw material testing can not only improve effectiveness, but reduce risk and lower costs as well.
