FEATURED EDITORIAL

Avoiding Costly Outsourcing Mistakes In Bispecific Antibody Development

Just like inspecting a house before a major renovation, biopharmas must address underlying bispecific structural and analytical flaws before handing their molecule off to a CDMO.

 

The Rise Of South Korea As A Global Biopharma Leader

Where CDMOs first flourish, and clinical trials pick up, biotech innovation follows. It has been the China model, and now the addition of biotechs and biotech investment from within and without has South Korea as the new attention-grabbing nation participating throughout our industry. Here's an in-depth analysis from Chief Editor Louis Garguilo.

Building Scalable Pathways For Cell And Gene Therapy Success

We took the opportunity to speak with some BioPhorum members about issues such as emerging technologies, regulatory challenges, and engagement with regulators in the advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP) space.
