Large-scale freezing and thawing is commonly used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing but is not well understood. Freeze-thaw variations can exist within or between batches, and nonuniform processes raise serious validation concerns.

Some good news, some bad news for biotechnology patent holders
by Duncan Pass, and Martyn Postle, Cambridge Pharma Consultancy How does big pharma look at your biotech company as a potential partner? This often depends on how it looks at its own research and development investments ? and how it presents them to shareholders. This insider's look at biotech-pharma collaboration shows you the other side of the equation.
by David Schulman, Dechert London; and Joe Zammit-Lucia, Chris Easley, Cambridge Pharma Consultancy The job of many a biotech CEO is scrambling to find and secure funds to support the company's development projects. For many biopharmaceutical companies in early development stages, collaboration with "big pharma" is a compelling answer to the cashflow problem. But strategic alliances should benefit those on both sides of the negotiating table.

by Karl Bayer, Monika Cserjan-Puschmann, Reingard Grabherr, Gerald Striedner, and Franz Clementschitsch, Institute of Applied Microbiology, Vienna, Austria A new strategy for controlling recombinant gene expression improves efficiency, maximizes host vector exploitation, reduces costs, improves product consistency, and accelerates product development. Continuous feeds of limited amounts of inducer proportional to biomass growth grant optimal control over the ratio between gene expression and host cell metabolism, providing stable, prolonged recombinant protein production.
