FEATURED EDITORIAL

Lonza Bets The House On Biologics. What's It Mean For You?

It’s a large and universally recognizable CDMO, so this matters. Swiss-based powerhouse Lonza will focus entirely on biologics, and “advanced synthesis” such as complex modalities including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), cell and gene therapies (CGT), and mRNA-based therapeutics. What does this say about the future of drug development?

Biologics Development At CDMOs Demands More Flexibility

Outsourced Pharma Live explored the specific challenges of biologics development that are pushing CDMOs to adopt more flexible approaches. The discussion covered key factors such as customized manufacturing solutions, adaptive project timelines, and responsive technology integration to help ensure that development and manufacturing at CDMOs stay on track in an unpredictable environment.
