🔬 Back from #ESBES 2024 in Copenhagen, and wow - what an event!   This year’s symposium highlighted the growing impact of #simulation in process development and optimization, underscoring just how essential it’s becoming for efficient and scalable bioprocessing. Here’s what stood out to us:   1. Simulation-Supported Process Development: Simulation took center stage as a tool for streamlining and optimizing complex processes. Industry leaders are experiencing firsthand how it reduces both time and costs, cutting down on repetitive lab work.   2. Gradients & Cellular Productivity Inhomogeneity: Understanding gradients and pinpointing productivity inhomogeneities in bioreactors is essential. By knowing where these variations occur, teams can design and operate reactors with precision - a capability our software delivers.   3. Compartment Models for Complex Biology: Simulating complex biological systems isn’t easy, but compartment models are making it possible. These models allow for capturing intricate biological behaviors with both efficiency and accuracy.   The response to our #software was overwhelmingly positive, with attendees eager to explore its potential! For many, our rigorous #validation process stood out as a game-changer, instilling confidence that our simulation results are both accurate and scalable - delivering reliable insights at any scale. 🚀   Seeing this enthusiasm reinforces our mission - validated simulations are the future of bioprocessing. Curious to see how we’re driving this growth? Let’s connect!  - P.S. Thanks to Eva-Maria Wlaschitz for capturing this moment on stage 📸

At #ESBES in Copenhagen, we are excited to introduce a brand-new approach to scale up processes - within seconds - without losing the advantage of validated, physics-based models.   Scaling bioprocesses from laboratory to production has traditionally been complex, time-consuming, and costly, often requiring empirical methods.   At SimVantage, we have worked diligently to incorporate feedback from our customers and partners. This collaborative effort has led to the development of an innovative solution, designed to transform how bioreactors are scaled with unmatched speed and accuracy.   🔍 How does it work? We will provide a detailed explanation in a future post, but here is a brief overview: Our solution combines advanced CFD simulations with machine learning, enabling rapid scale-up while maintaining the precision of validated, physics-first models.   💡 Join us for more insights! Christian Witz will be presenting the details tomorrow at the ESBES 2024 Symposium - don’t miss this opportunity: 🗓️ When: Tuesday, 22 October, 1:00–2:15 pm 📍 Where: Studio 3   For the full event schedule, check the ESBES 2024 program here: https://lnkd.in/dhAeNnGX - 👉 Follow SimVantage for the latest advancements in #bioreactor technologies and #simulationtools.

Biotech Summit Takeaways: Overcoming hurdles and strengthening networks 🤝 What a fantastic experience at the 2nd BIOTECH AUSTRIA Summit! 🧬 The event brought to light the immense complexity of bringing new therapies to market. From cutting-edge insights to innovative startup pitches, the summit was a whirlwind of inspiration and connection. Huge shout-out to our friends at QUBICON, especially Wolfgang Sommeregger, for delivering one of the most engaging pitches of the event. 🎤  Definitely a standout moment! 👏 The Hike ⛰️ and Dine ✨  event were an incredible icebreaker. It felt like a class reunion - catching up with familiar faces, exchanging ideas, and hearing about progress since we last met. Networking was effortless, especially because we all share the same challenges in bioprocessing and scaling up innovation. At SimVantage, we’re committed to tackling these challenges head-on. Whether it’s rapid tech transfer or bioreactor #optimization through our #simulationsoftware, we’re constantly pushing the envelope to help #biotech teams achieve their goals faster and more efficiently. ➡️ Were you at the Summit? We’d love to hear your key takeaways and discuss how simulation can help overcome the hurdles we face in bringing new therapies to market. Let’s keep the conversation going!

Looking Back at 2 inspiring days in France 🇫🇷 We had the honor of joining Ypso-Facto for their 10th-anniversary celebration during a two-day event in Nancy, France. Over the past decade, Ypso-Facto has been setting new standards for #biochemical #processdevelopment and #simulation, with advanced software like Ypso-Ionic and Proxima leading the way. They’ve transformed how companies #optimize and #scale processes, all while driving digital innovation. ✨ Event highlights: 👌 SimVantage was among 100 participants from 40 companies across 14 countries, representing the entire biopharma sector, including pharmaceutical companies, CDMOs, and suppliers. 👌 Distinguished speakers from major industry players such as Bachem, GSK, Sanofi, and Roche, alongside esteemed academic partners, shared their expertise. Their presentations showed how science and mechanistic modeling can revolutionize the design of upstream and downstream processes. 👌 What impressed us the most: a thought-provoking talk on the fascinating interplay between humans and robots in surgery. 🤖 The insights on robotic assistance reshaping routine tasks and training the next generation of surgeons were truly eye-opening. 👌 A gourmet buffet and an unforgettable gala dinner at the prestigious Hôtel de Ville de Nancy, with a breathtaking view of the world-renowned Place Stanislas. This event underscored the critical role of chromatography and simulation in biotech. We’re excited about the joint projects SimVantage and Ypso-Facto have in the works. 🔬 👉 Follow us for more updates on the latest in biotech innovation!

 Mission accomplished! Our CTO, Philipp Eibl, just accepted the CLAUS Award for the ECOnti consortium project - and in true James Bond style! 🤵♂️ Alongside Lejla Pock, they turned the latest issue of Botenstoff into an absolute highlight. But behind the glamor lies real innovation. The CLAUS Award celebrates standout cooperative projects within the Human.technology Styria GmbH (HTS) network. And that’s exactly what ECOnti is - a groundbreaking collaboration between Novasign, QUBICON, enGenes Biotech GmbH., Tosoh Bioscience, Inc., and us at SimVantage. ECOnti harnesses the power of digital twins to revolutionize continuous protein production. By simulating complex microbial processes, we’re making biotech more efficient, sustainable, and ready for future regulatory approvals. 🚀 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dg2YgrET Want to stay up to date? 👉 Follow us - this is just the beginning of how collaboration drives innovation! #teamwork #digitaltwin #ECOnti #biotech #sustainability #CLAUSaward

Meet Lukas Gsenger - optimizing biotech with machine learning 👨💻 Today, we’re wrapping up our team spotlight series with Lukas - a bioreactor simulation expert whose skills are just as impressive as his passion for fitness and beach volleyball. 🏐 At SimVantage, Lukas is leading the development of surrogate models for the FFG Österreichische Forschungsförderungsgesellschaft mbH Lead Project.
