Check out BD's San Diego Reagent Innovation Center, located on the Torrey View, 10-acre, world-class life sciences research and development campus. Our experts’ specialized knowledge in building high-standard laboratories and manufacturing facilities came in handy as we worked on the interior fit-out of this 162,000-square-foot facility focused on the research and development, manufacturing, and quality control of antibodies and dyes. The facility required unique solutions to address the product’s light sensitivity requirements plus a rigorous air handling system to accommodate ISO-8 classifications.

We were thrilled to host local industry leaders at our Toronto office open house! Attendees mingled with our team members and learned more about CRB. Our experts also led technical presentations that covered topics affecting the life sciences industry today, including: • "CFD Simulations for Validating HVAC Investments and Energy Savings for a Sustainable Future" with Jayant Borana, P.Eng. • "Exploring the Future of Scalable Cell and Gene Therapies" with Peter Walters • "Achieving a Zero-Carbon Biopharma Facility" with Jeff Wegner, PE, CEM, LEED AP Thank you to everyone who came and made this a great event! #CRBLife

How can alternative protein companies stay afloat amid demand fluctuation and scarce investment funds? Luckily by finding inefficiencies and hidden costs in a production facility, manufacturers can achieve a substantial victory for both their budget and overall financial performance! Hear from Sebastian Bohn and Thomas Smith V during an upcoming Alt-Meat webinar as they discuss where to look for OpEx wins to help keep your alternative meat company in business during tight economic times.

Congratulations, Ultragenyx! The FDA recently agreed with Ultragenyx that cerebral spinal fluid heparan sulfate can be a surrogate endpoint for Sanfilippo Syndrome. This can now be used in Ultragenyx’s biologics license application as the company seeks accelerated approval for its gene therapy to treat the rare disease. It’s been a privilege to partner with Ultragenyx by designing the facility that will produce these treatments. Here’s to helping their goal of treating rare and ultrarare diseases in our world!

Designing a space that will accommodate those who will use it is the main objective of looking at building design through a DEI lens. To close out Pride Month, our Out+Allies employee resource group gathered to discuss ways to think inclusively when designing building spaces - from offices to labs to cleanrooms. Whether it's how color usage can be disruptive or exclusive to considering how sound may affect a neurodivergent individual to how glass stairs can make people uncomfortable, these seemingly small details can make a huge difference when it comes to creating inclusive and accessible workspaces for all people. #PrideMonth #Pride #DEI #CRBLife

Our Women at CRB employee resource group hosted International Women in Engineering Day events throughout our offices! Activities included snacks, lunch, games, presentations and gift bags. It was a great way to connect with and enjoy time together with our fellow ERG members and colleagues. Thanks Women at CRB for organizing the celebrations! #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay #WomenInEngineering #Engineering #CRBLife

Having the right controls and policies in place can help a food manufacturer reduce the probability of a food recall. Luckily, there are ways to design a plant or production line to help mitigate this! Pablo Coronel Rivadeneira, PhD outlines why food recalls happen, how to prepare for one, and steps that can be taken in the design phase to minimize the risk of one happening. In the slider below, we share a glimpse at the key elements of food safety, a part that should be considered during the design phase to help avoid food recalls in the future.
