8:30 am - 9:00 am Registration and Coffee
8:55 am - 9:00 am PharmaIQ Welcome
9:00 am - 9:10 am Chairman's Opening Address
9:10 am - 9:45 am Identifying the Impact of Implementation: Commercial and Process Implications
Jean-Yves Bauer - Senior Engineer, MS&T / TLCM / IM-BIOPROCESS GSK- Analyse the impact of SUS implementation in driving forward GSK Vaccines product development
- Examine the commercial realities of implementation: what are the unexpected hurdles to overcome, and
what is the cost?
- Discuss what is next? What is missing from the current solutions and what do manufacturers need to see
from suppliers in their new technologies?
9:45 am - 10:20 am Defining Your Disposable Solutions Parameters – a Cell Therapy Case Study
Amy Shaw - Senior Scientist, Cell Therapy Torque Therapeutics- Asses the disposable technology currently available to decide whether it makes sense to move to a 100%
disposable facility or to use a hybrid system
- Create a spectrum of challenge and implement the most straightforward disposable components before
tackling the more complex
- Devise a cost benefit analysis to analyse at what point you should increase disposable uptake to move
towards 100%
10:20 am - 10:50 am Reverse Engineer Your Processes With The Final Requirements In Mind
Nadav Eshkol - Technology and Process Development Manager Pluristem Therapeutics- Discuss how to identify what your product’s post market commitments are likely to look like at the
beginning of the development cycle to ensure you design your manufacturing process to meet your
development requirements
- Minimise your ongoing production changes and maximise process reliability by commencing your
production and technology adoption with the end in mind
- Analyse the process impact on embedding scalability and flexibility at the beginning rather than end of
the design process
- Examine the cost benefit metrics around complete investment at the beginning rather than on a gradual
model
10:50 am - 11:20 am Coffee Break
11:20 am - 11:55 am Extractable Test Results From A Mono Layer, Fluoropolymer, Single Use Bag Generated Using The BPOG Extractable Protocol
Mike Johnson - Chair, ASME-BPE Polymer Materials Subcommittee, Life Sciences Business Development Engineering Manager, Entegris. Inc. Entergris- Discuss the continuous concern with extractables and their impact on process fluids
- Hear about the data generated from using the BPOG protocol on monolayer fluoropolymer bag material,
void of any additives such as adhesives, plasticisers, lubricants or antioxidants
- Learn what the results mean for testing protocols and materials used in disposable technologies
Mike Johnson
Chair, ASME-BPE Polymer Materials Subcommittee, Life Sciences Business Development Engineering Manager, Entegris. Inc.Entergris
11:55 am - 12:30 pm Moving Beyond Implementation – From Microbioreactors To Scale-Up In Microbial Process Development
Daniela Reinisch - Director, Upstream Development Boehringer Ingelheim- Discuss the best screening & process optimization solutions to scale your production
- Examine scalability case studies to see where you can apply industry learnings
- Discuss how scalability can be used to improve your process quality and reliability to avoid product and
capacity wastage
12:35 pm - 1:10 pm Technology Showcase Day
3 of our solution providers will share their latest technology innovations to help you optimise your
manufacturing processes. Take this opportunity to meet some the companies showcasing their solutions at
this event!
1:10 pm - 2:10 pm Networking Lunch
2:10 pm - 2:50 pm Maximise Your Downstream Capability Without Compromising on Your Product
Stewart Campbell - Gene Therapy Downstream Lead Pfizer- Discuss how to improve control of product quality for downstream purification
- Hear about the process requirements to move to 100% closed system processing to maximise your
conjugation and purification
- Discuss the realities of simultaneous clinical manufacturing and the best ways to ensure sterility in multi
purpose facilities
2:50 pm - 3:30 pm Continuous Downstream Processing: Comparability and Regulatory risks
Klaus Kaiser - Head of Downstream Bayer- Understand the basic approach to compare “traditional” batch manufacturing with continuous production
- Analyse the differences between tiered and phase dependent comparability approach
- Perform a risk assessment as basis to define the required measures for the comparability exercise
- Discuss applicability in clinical studies and manufacturing concept
3:30 pm - 4:00 pm Afternoon Coffee Break
4:00 pm - 4:40 pm Closed Systems Operation: A Risk Based Approach
David Estape - Technology Manager CRB Group- Define a risk based approach to assessing appropriate room classifications – and the process efficiency
gains this can generate
- Understand the different definitions to closed system processing – is your system closed systems or
aseptic and why does it matter?
- Validate and qualify system closures for manufacturing processes in accordance with lean manufacturing
principles
4:40 pm - 5:50 pm Round Table Discussions
Use this opportunity to discuss with peers key challenges facing the industry and follow up on the day’s
presentations with a series of intimate round table discussions facilitated by our industry experts:
Each roundtable discussion will last for 20 minutes with the opportunity to rotate to a second discussion
point.
