Title
Challenges with Development of Biotech Therapeutics
Abstract: Pharmaceuticals today are the biggest exports for India and we are globally regarded as THE place for producing economical safe and efficacious medicines. The past decade has seen a significant interest in development of biotherapeutic products. It remains to be seen if India can replicate its success with pharmaceuticals in this class of products. While the challenges in successful development and commercialization of these products are regulatory as well as scientific this talk will focus on the latter. Topics that will be covered include process development and control characterization of biotherapeutic products continuous processing and multivariate data analysis. The presentation highlights what engineers can do to help India in emerging as the manufacturing giant in this space and improve affordability of these complex products.BIOGRAPHY: ANURAG S.
