How can we optimize manufacturing and operations? In this episode of Bioprocessing Unfiltered, Andrew Sinclair, president and founder of Biopharm Services, provides insight from his 35-year-long career in the industry on the most significant ways data management and predictive modeling can improve efficiency during the manufacturing process. With host William Whitford, founder of Oamaru BioSystems, Sinclair delves into the history and impact of costs, how to handle evolving efficiencies, and why understanding definitions can be useful for speaking the language of regulators and rating organizations.

What is the future of gene therapies? In this episode of Bioprocessing Unfiltered, host Susan D’Costa, chief technical and commercial officer of Genezen, and Phillip Ramsey, CTO of Sangamo Therapeutics, discuss a variety of topics about gene therapies, including what will transform viral vector gene therapy, the evolving role of contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs), and how gene editing in general fits into the broader gene therapy landscape. Plus, they cover the three key factors that are important in a relationship with a CDMO and the onslaught of different pressures that cell and gene therapies are currently under—and how to rekindle confidence in managing that pressure and tackling challenges.
