Bioprocessing, Bioengineering and Process Chemistry in the Biopharmaceutical Industry (eBook)

This book outlines how advances in the diverse scientific and engineering disciplines of synthetic biology, DNA synthesis, production of protein therapeutics, and bioinformatics have led to the commercialization of new complex biotherapeutic modalities in modern era, including monoclonal and multi-specific antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (ADC), fusion proteins, CAR-T and CRISPR technologies and applications, mRNA vaccines and more. Enabling operations to bring these life-changing medicines into the hands of the needy patients include regulatory submissions to authorities across the globe, as well as streamlined production across manufacturing networks deemed necessary and are outlined in dedicated chapters. Bioprocessing, Bioengineering and Process Chemistry in the Biopharmaceutical Industry: Using Chemistry and Bioengineering to Improve the Performance of Biologics captures the state of the art for many of these new modalities, offering innovative approaches to treat, prevent, and in some providential cases, cure the disease.  This book will be of significant interest for many disciplines engaged jointly as teams convergently in delivering these medicines: bioprocess engineers, biologists, chemists, bioengineers, genetic engineers, healthcare professionals, regulatory bodies, among pharmaceutical industry professionals as well as in academic circles.
