Single-Use technology gives you complete design flexibility in process development.

Our bioreactors let you scale up in increments from 50L to 2000L while maintaining complete control over critical parameters.

According to McKinsey, the potential importance of Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) to healthcare and the biopharma industry is clear.

While CGT accounts for just 1% of launched products in major markets, with treatment of the vast majority of diseases still using small-molecule drugs, those products include CAR T-cell therapy for aggressive B-cell lymphomas and gene therapies to treat a range of monogenic rare diseases and have proved transformative for patients.

There are many more in development; in a recent study CGT products accounted for 12% of the industry’s clinical pipeline 16% of the preclinical pipeline. Low-cost Single-use biomanufacturing assemblies such as those offered by ferropharma bio are enabling innovative start-ups and contract manufacturers to rapidly produce clinical trial material, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) or cell and gene therapies.

Both upstream and downstream manufacturing processes benefit from single-use systems. Follow us here or talk to our team to see if we can help with your process.

We have followed the development of Biotech industry in India closely and we believe in its bright future helping make the world a better place.

We at ferropharma bio support all biotechnology industries and both approaches as in the end it seems mainly to be a question of scale.

A fruitful discussion around the many valuable arguments for both production methods can additionally be read her: https://lnkd.in/dBBkKrKi

The next generation of bioreactors

Current regulation stipulates that a cubic metre of air should be sampled as part of a manufacturing process. This led to the evolution of samplers designed to sample a cubic metre very quickly to minimise production down time.

The new GMP Annex 1 of will require CONTINUOUS MONITORING of critical locations throughout a process and during set-up. Rapid cubic metre air samplers will no longer meet the requirements.
At ferropharma bio our offer focuses on MONITORING not sampling, with validation to Annex 1 compliance as standard.

The ImpactAir and ISO-140 are the pinnacle of precision monitoring.

Single-Use technology gives you complete design flexibility in process development.

Our bioreactors let you scale up in increments from 50L to 2000L while maintaining complete control over critical parameters.

Emerging technologies sometimes generate overnight corporate successes, but also often allow established organisations to grow and succeed by applying their expertise to new technology areas.

India's Biocon is a great example of an established player in Biotech, historically strong on recombinant technology, using its expertise to leverage opportunities in Car-T cell therapy and to support vaccine development.

This Biopatrika article gives a brief insight into Biocon's development into an Indian biotech powerhouse.

Biocon: Revolutionizing Healthcare Through Biotechnology Innovation

Is there really a Biotech explosion in India?
An article published this week highlights some impressive stats......

- 8 times growth from $10bn to $80bn in 8 years

- 100 times growth in the number of Biotech

-focused startups, now at 5,300 compared to just 52 as recently as 8 years ago.......

we'd love you to share your first-hand knowledge of the Biotech startup scene in India...... or is this just newspaper talk?

Bio-manufacturing hub: India to break into top five by 2025

You know the quote from Origin of Species that it is the species that adapts most successfully to changing environments that survives?

In Life Science there’s a good argument that its being best able to operate across company boundaries that drives success…. complex scientific challenges are often tackled more effectively by a multi-disciplinary approach using pooled expertise drawn from different organisations.
The same is true in market development, where collaboration enables the sharing of knowledge, resources, and technologies, driving innovation delivery and encouraging development of complementary products and services.

So the process of choosing your partners becomes a critical success factor. Does our graphic capture how you choose yours?

Did you meet our team at CPHIPMECChina2023 ? Its always a great few days catching up with our partners.

The energy, the connections and the inspiration. We'll be back.

Novartis extends further into Gene Therapy

Cystinosis genuinely qualifies as a rare genetic disorder, with incidence at a level of around 1 in 100,000 in the population.

The amino acid cystine accumulates in cells causing damage to tissues and to organs, most often the kidneys, and distressingly the condition often first manifests in late childhood. Avrobio (Mass, US) focus on lentiviral gene therapy, and developed this treatment through to clinical stage, and the Novartis acquisition is a clear vote of confidence.

Novartis buys rare disease gene therapy from Avrobio

Researchers led by Dr. David Baker from the University of Washington have developed a groundbreaking AI-based method for designing custom protein complexes.Using a machine learning algorithm called Monte Carlo tree search, they were able to create protein architectures tailored to specific biological responses. The AI-designed proteins showed promising results, including the development of a highly effective vaccine candidate that outperformed existing designs in clinical trials.

This research opens up possibilities for designing complex protein structures for various applications, such as gene therapies and drug delivery systems.

Today we're asking a question...
Is there a quotation or a saying that has stuck in your mind and that you use, value, refer to, or share with those close to you as advice, guidance, or support?

We at ferropharma group like this one, because it talks to the sense of belonging and togetherness that makes really good (or even great) teams. We don't even know who first said this, but it has become one of our all-time favorites: "If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together."

Now, it's your turn to share your favorite!

The ability to persuade others... Its a core skill that can give you an edge to get a raise from your boss or get your kids to go to bed for the night. More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle outlined a formula for mastering the art of persuasion in his work Rhetoric. In this article, Carmine Gallo highlights five rhetorical devices identified by Aristotle that can help you successfully sell your ideas: ethos, logos, pathos, metaphor, and storytelling.

If you'd like the edge, have a look at this great short article from the Harvard Business Review:

The Art of Persuasion Hasn’t Changed in 2,000 Years

At ferropharma bio we think our international team and international outlook are a true source of strength. Local knowledge across the many countries where we operate helps us tap into new trends and capitalize on emerging opportunities. We love the fact that in a few short weeks there has been interaction with our page from no less than 21 countries on 4 continents.

There are challenges of course to managing projects across time zones but its more than worth it for the stimulation of an inclusive and globally aware culture where we aim to attract top talent and foster a dynamic work environment.

Have you heard the saying "Bring a brick, not a cathedral?" It is something we first heard many years ago as advice on the power of collaboration and of working in teams. Coming to a project with a single brick, in the form of an idea, a resource or perhaps a component, and working with others with different skills, experiences and sets of resources, builds a cathedral much more beautiful and wondrous than you could even have conceived alone. This is the power of teams, the power of collaboration and it is also akin to the pricinciples on which open architecture systems are built in bioprocess design.

EMELEMA® single-use connector systems from ferropharma bio are precision engineered, cost-effective and most importantly allow complete and rapid design flexiblity. Let us bring a brick and who knows the cathedral you could build.

As the world moves away from disposable, single-use technologies it may seem strange that single-use processing technology for biopharmaceutical production, already a huge marketplace driven by innovation, continues to grow – a CAGR of around 30% as some claim means the market for such technology is heading towards $10billion annually by the end of the decade.

Single-use technology in these applications promotes sustainability in different ways: It replaces the use of large amounts of chemicals, water and energy used to clean and sanitise traditional stainless steel production vessels between batches, and also reduces the possibility of waste generated by failed batches caused by cross-contamination.

Open architecture systems allow process development and tech transfer teams to build scalable liquid handling systems in upstream (bioreactors, media prep and buffer prep) and downstream fluid transfer systems for filtration, chromatography and to fill/finish processes. Open architecture systems allow production engineers to choose components from across all of the manufacturers operating in this space, meaning there’s an ongoing need for design, redesign and modification of the connectors used to link these components together. In such advanced manufacturing the ability to produce high-precision prototypes early in the development cycle, and to modiy and update designs quickly, with precision and at low cost, can be a sustainable competitive advantage getting your product to trials on time and ultimately getting your product to market sooner.

"One of the latest studies about dogs in working environments" https://lnkd.in/gifgU75. Dogs create a sense of wellbeing reducing feelings of stress at work. Whilst finding that this works best in companies with open communication, autonomy and flexible working hours we took on those positive reasons and invited all dogs to a pet day at our German office last week. The results of having Henry, Rosi and Rio with us was a successful one. The team and also the dogs were totally relaxed and we even took them for a dog walk together. A different ambience which we will repeat more often ! #office #wellbeingatwork #team #worklifebalance #communication #teambonding
