SPONSOR

Webinar: Designing Drug Substance Processes for Fill-Finish Compatibility

Taking a molecule from drug substance to drug product often falters at the handoff. In this webinar, KBI Biopharma and Argonaut Manufacturing Services share how integrated CDMO-to-fill-finish partnerships eliminate silos, streamline quality, and reduce risk. Join a candid fireside chat on the top 10 quality challenges and proven solutions that cut timelines by 2–3 months from development through late-stage commercialization. Click here to learn more.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

The Difficulties Of Working With Multiple Siloed Partners

By working with a single supplier that can handle the entire manufacturing value chain, companies can reduce risk, improve flexibility, and accelerate their time to market.

A Risk-Based Approach To Design, Operations, And Grades

Explore how Annex 1 applies to low bioburden DS manufacturing and promotes a risk-based approach to contamination control that balances regulatory compliance with operational efficiency.

Enhancing Viral Clearance Prediction And Process Optimization

With early, in-house viral clearance assessment, this solution empowers biopharma teams to optimize processes, cut expenses, and safeguard quality before GMP production begins.

FEATURED EDITORIAL

Europe In 2026: Resilience Through Uncertainty

Chief Editor Louis Garguilo wants readers to focus on Europe this January as it remains vital to development and manufacturing outsourcing. Europe’s CDMOs can’t wait for some form of political or trade détente. They need to leverage their reputation for reliability. He thinks 2026 may be remembered as the year Europe’s industry redefined resilience.

The Promise And Paradox Of QbD

The difference between QbD as burden and QbD as advantage lies in critical thinking supported by structure — a hierarchy of metrics, toolsets, and tailored platforms.
