Roundtable: Accelerating your biologics therapeutics development with bioassays

Watch this on-demand virtual roundtable to explore how the simple, thaw-and-use bioassay format improves assay workflow and helps attain high assay reproducibility.

About this virtual panel

Bioassays serve as a critical component of the quality control (QC) system for characterising biologics and are needed to support lot release, comparability, product stability and neutralising antibody (NAb) testing. Given the stringent regulatory requirements, developing QC-suitable robust bioassays that reflect the biologics mechanism-of-action (MOA) is never an easy task!

In addition, biologics are becoming even more complex with evolving protein-engineering technologies further challenging the established approaches for bioassay development.

This on-demand roundtable presents an interactive panel discussion with industry leaders from global contract research, development and manufacturing organisations (CROs/CDMOs) on development strategies, current trends, lessons learned and evolving approaches for bioassays.

Learning outcomes of this virtual panel

  • Learn about preferred strategies for developing QC-suitable bioassays
  • Explore how the simple, thaw-and-use bioassay format improves assay workflow and helps attain high assay reproducibility
  • Hear from experienced industry leading CROs/CDMOs on how to accelerate validation programmes through pre-qualified bioassays.
