"The diversity in the design of ADCs directly translates to a diversity in technologies that are necessary for ensuring product quality, purity, sterility, and compliance with evolving regulatory requirements. Considering the number of processes involved, the manufacture of ADC-based therapies requires significant capital investments, decades of experience, and immense technical expertise across a multitude of platforms and technologies." Pierre Landais, Director of Commercial Development for Drug Product Services at Lonza and Sandro Holzer, Head of Development for Bioconjugates at Lonza, contributed an article to World Pharma Today about how CDMOs can help navigate some of the bottlenecks of ADC manufacturing.

Next week, our Cell & Gene leaders will travel to the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine’s Meeting on the MESA and play an active role focused on accelerating the successful commercialization of Cell & Gene Therapies globally. If you are attending, don't miss the panel discussion on "Investing in Cell and Gene Therapy – Current Global Market Trends", joined by Thomas Fellner, our Vice President, Global Head of Operations for Cell & Gene Technologies. We’d welcome the opportunity to sit down with you and discuss bringing your science to market. Please reach out to us using the Partnering App or through our website (https://lnkd.in/eMYDVTmU) to meet with one of our team on-site. #RealizingPotentialTogether #commercialization #GeneTherapy #CellTherapy

One of the most important goals of genetic engineering, especially within the biopharmaceutical industry space, is the ability to produce therapeutic proteins. Over the years spent working in this field, Pichia pastoris has become my personal favorite expression system, mainly due to its versatility across scales and the appropriate folding and secretion of recombinant proteins expressed in this system, and their ease of purification. Lonza has developed the XS® Pichia Expression System to help accommodate industry trends, eliminate production bottlenecks, align downstream processing, and drive breakthroughs into the clinic. Learn more about P. pastoris and its use at Lonza in my new blog.  #PichiaPastoris #Recombinant #Lonza #PharmaceuticalIndustry #RandDBlog

Today, we completed our acquisition of the Genentech large-scale biologics manufacturing site in Vacaville, California (US) from Roche for USD 1.2 billion. With a total bioreactor capacity of around 330,000 liters, the Vacaville facility significantly extends our mammalian manufacturing footprint in the US, the world’s largest pharmaceutical market. We extend a warm welcome to our new colleagues in Vacaville as the site joins our global Biologics manufacturing network. #AHealthierWorld #Acquisition #Growth #Biologics

Today we announced the extension of our collaboration with Acumen to to enable the potential future commercial launch of sabirnetug (ACU193). Acumen is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a novel therapeutic that targets toxic soluble amyloid beta (Aβ) oligomers (AβOs) for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Sabirnetug is the first humanized monoclonal antibody to clinically demonstrate selective target engagement of AβOs in AD patients. The extended collaboration builds upon an existing successful relationship in which we provide drug substance manufacturing for the Phase 2 clinical supply of sabirnetug.
