Topical 5: Pilot Plant Design and Optimization

Session 151 - Strategies in Biopharmaceutical Scale-up & Pilot Plants
While reducing the timelines to market is still a challenge, adopting efficient scale-up and technology transfer strategies in the biopharmaceutical industry is critical. In this race to commercialize new technology, or to improve existing technology, it is widely accepted that pilot plants play a key role in the overall process development scheme. Therefore, this session is particularly interested in topics that include, but are not limited to, scale-up approaches and troubleshooting for upstream and downstream processes, unique technology transfer strategies, design and operation of pilot plants, case studies on processes that are scaled-up in pilot plants that demonstrate a unique team approach and delivery under aggressive timelines and budget limitations.
