Innovations in BioManufacturing, a CDMO perspective
This year marks the 40th year of the approval of the first FDA approve biotechnology drug. Our industry has evolved tremendously and we have seen incredible changes to make life impacting medicines available.
We have seen an evolution and expansion in the modalities that are going through the drug development life cycle. Biomanufacturing needs to be ready with the required infrastructure, innovation, flexibility and expertise to deliver these treatments.
CDMOs, such as FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, are implementing innovations that will drive the future of Biomanufacturing. Innovation in the CDMO spaces, can be different than innovation from discovery and molecule ownership and will bring different value.
