Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 7th Annual

Cell Culture and Bioproduction

Emerging Technologies, Improved Process Control, and New Opportunities

19-20 March 2024

Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 7^th Annual Cell Culture and Bioproduction conference examines technologies and strategies that lead to greater productivity for cultivating cells and scaling these systems for clinical and commercial production. The meeting includes coverage of new bioreactor technologies, the increasing role of computational modeling and AI/ML, new process control systems, and the application of these tools in the production of new biotherapeutic modalities.

Coverage will include, but is not limited to:

Evolution of Bioreactor Technologies

Continuous bleed recycling
Modeling to optimize perfusion process parameters
Next-generation single-use bioreactors
Novel bioreactor formats for niche applications

Process Characterisation and Control

Analytics and process controls for emerging modalities
Enabling PAT in continuous manufacturing
Modeling applications in PAT and QC

Implementing Computational Modeling and ML/AI in Upstream Processing

Collection and curation issues for new and legacy data
Development and implementation of digital twins and hybrid/mechanistic process models
End-to-End digital twins to allow real-time release
Regulatory perspectives on the implementation and use of AI in bioprocessing

Problems and Solutions

Implementing small-scale automation/robotization
Resolution of sustainability issues in upstream processing
Strategies for development, characterisation, and qualification of next-generation media

Upstream Processing for Emerging Modalities

Applications of synthetic biology to AAV manufacturing
GMP enzyme production for RNA vaccines and therapeutics
Small-scale culture technologies to facilitate autologous CAR T production

The deadline for priority consideration is Friday 22 September.

All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
