Bioprocessing Economics: High Titre for Show, Net Titre for Profitable Growth

Life Sciences, Pharmaceutical, Pharma Manufacturing & Supply Chain, Biosimilars,
  • Wednesday, August 28, 2024

In advanced bioprocessing, achieving high titres in microbial production is celebrated. However, the ultimate measure of success lies in the net titre, which considers both efficiency and yield as the protein moves through and out of downstream processing (DSP).

Traditional bioprocessing methods prioritize optimizing expression systems for high titres using standard host cells like Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) or Pichia pastoris. While effective initially, these methods frequently fall short in net yield due to inefficiencies in DSP. Complex purification processes, increased costs and reduced efficiency often result from high initial titres.

Balancing impressive initial titres with the practical economic realities of purification and overall yield is a critical challenge faced by drug developers with clinical manufacturing aspirations. These limitations underscore the necessity for a comprehensive bioprocess optimization strategy integrating both upstream and downstream processes.

In this webinar, the speaker will share how an integrated approach maximizes net titre by combining high titre production with efficient DSP. This involves optimizing the genetic and metabolic pathways of host cells and refining downstream processes to minimize product loss. Techniques such as quantitative trait loci (QTL) technology and advanced synthetic biology enhance strain robustness, improving production, lowering production costs and enhancing yield. Compared to traditional methods, this integrated strategy ensures high titres translate into commercially viable and sustainable net yields.

Addressing DSP challenges upfront facilitates smooth scale-up from lab to current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) production. The speakers will briefly touch on how combining international excellence in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain development, this integrated strategy and decades of experience in biomanufacturing creates a one-of-a-kind solution for next-generation drug developers looking to hit their bioprocessing milestones.
