Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 7th Annual

Intensified and Continuous Processing

Improving Process Intensification, Monitoring, and Control

20-21 March 2024

Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 7th Annual Intensified and Continuous Processing conference focuses on developing, integrating, and implementing semi- and fully-continuous processing in upstream and downstream processing for clinical and commercial use.

Key topics include process intensification, continuous process development from perfusion to purification, digitalization, process control, robustness and monitoring, viral safety, cost analysis, and ramping up production from clinical to commercialisation, all in line with international regulations. The conference also looks at the increasing move towards sustainable biomanufacturing and end-of-product lifecycle.

Coverage will include, but is not limited to:

Process Intensification—Perfusion to Purification

Case studies of rapid intensification in USP and DSP
State-of-the-art technologies in continuous processing
Integrating processes—semi-continuous and continuous processing
Viral clearance in a continuous processing setting
Intensification strategies in cell and gene therapy
Measuring the economic impact of process intensification
Facility design for intensified and continuous processes
Regulation—what defines a batch?

Process Analytics, Predictive Control, and Automation

PAT and online measurement for improving continuous processing
Moving towards automation of continuous processing
Implementing PAT

Sustainable and Environmental Approaches to Biomanufacturing

Environmentally-friendly approaches to biomanufacturing
Scope 3 emissions
Use of more eco-friendly materials
Bio-circulation

Smart Bioprocessing—Digitalization and ML/AI in Continuous Processing

Digital solutions for improving continuous processing
The use of AI and machine learning in continuous processing
Data management, capture, and integrity: case studies on the use of data in improving process
Modelling to improve outcomes in continuous processing

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 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.
