When it comes to biotech, both the academic and industry settings are crucial in developing novel medicines. Dr Brent Cezairliyan has experienced both sides of biotech, first through an academic career exploring bacterial pathogenesis, and now in his administrative role at Octagon Therapeutics. The company, headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, focuses on autoimmune disease treatments. By developing targeted approaches to the inflammatory nature of the immune system, they hope their advances in biotech help future scientists navigate the field for years to come.
Go With The Flow: How sustainable is the trend toward single-use systems Podcast
October 20th 2022Speed-to-market, flexibility and process efficiency are more important than ever in biopharmaceutical production. And so is the importance of single-use systems. Single Use Support enables innovative process solutions around aseptic fluid management and improves aseptic liquid transfer in various manufacturing facilities. And yet there is hesitation.Dr. Lorenzo De Benedictis provides insights and outlook on the future of single-use systems in Biopharma.
The Solution Lies with SOLBIOTE™: Achieving Sustainability, a Growing Focus in Biopharma
October 28th 2024The nexus between biopharmaceuticals and sustainability is seemingly far apart, however, it is increasingly recognized as an inevitable challenge. It is encouraged to take a sustainable approach to reducing the environmental impact of the production and supply of medicines while improving people's health; delivering the well-being of people and the planet. Yosuke Shimojo (Technical Value Support Section Manager, Nagase Viita) will unveil how SOLBIOTE™, a portfolio of injectable-grade saccharide excipients, would be a key for the biopharmaceutical development and achieving sustainability for a better future of the industry.
From Conception to Manufacturing. Accelerating Therapies with Curia
May 28th 2024In this podcast, we will explore the advantages of partnering with a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) to navigate the journey from molecule conception to clinical trials, including the expertise, experience, and preparedness that a CDMO brings to the table. The audience will gain valuable insights into crucial questions such as the optimal stage in the development process to engage with a CDMO, the necessary preparations for a successful collaboration, and whether a finalized molecule is required to initiate discussions with a CDMO. Join Curia’s Director, Process Development Science, Scott Alderucci, who leads the process development group at Curia, a global CDMO offering CDMO expertise for biologics and small molecules.
Ep 1: Bioprocess for Beginners - From Shaker to Bioreactor
May 1st 2022In this interview, we will talk about the advantages of changing from shake flasks to stirred-tank bioreactors, but also about the problems that can occur and things that have to be considered, in order to ensure proper cell growth.
Building Biotech Series with Samir Ounzain
April 25th 2022While still considering himself a fundamental basic scientist, Samir Ounzain is embracing the biotech industry trend of merging academic research and biotechnological drug development. In this episode, Ounzain talks about his path from a dark theater as a kid watching Jurassic Park to the lab studying the dark matter of the human genome – and eventually to the founding of Haya Therapeutics, a biotech startup aiming to discover and develop safe and effective, tissue- and cell-selective, genome-based therapies for fibrotic diseases.
