Avid Bioservices to Make Three Presentations at IBC''s Biopharmaceutical Development and Production Week Conference Highlighting Its Innovative Applications for Developing Purification Methods and Quantitative Analytical Assays to Achieve and Monitor Manu
Optimizing Purification Techniques to Remove Process-Related Impurities With No Impact on Critical Quality Attributes; Strategies for Developing Process-Specific Host Cell Protein Antigens That Can Be Used for the Development of Impurity Assays
(firmenpresse) - TUSTIN, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/31/15 -- Avid Bioservices, Inc., the contract manufacturing subsidiary of Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc., today announced that it will present three posters at IBC''s Biopharmaceutical Development and Production Week Conference to be held in Huntington Beach, California, March 30-April 2, 2015. These presentations will highlight Avid''s expertise in optimizing purification techniques to remove process-related impurities, as well as strategies for developing process-specific host cell protein antigens that can be used for the development of impurity assays.
Avid will present the following posters, which will be on display Wednesday, April 1st and Thursday, April 2nd at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa Hotel:
"Presented by Jeanette Doerr, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, Molecular Cell Biology
Presented by David Briggs, Ph.D., Associate Scientist, Manufacturing Science and Technology
Presented by Payam Farahani, Associate Scientist, CMC & Process Sciences
"In one case study, the Avid teams share examples of process improvements made by applying innovative techniques for purification, while maintaining critical quality attributes (CQAs). We have been able to make significant advancements in purification techniques for complex glycoproteins in order to meet the specific needs of our clients'' advancing programs," said Connie Chang, senior director of CMC and Process Sciences for Avid Bioservices. "In another case study, we share strategies for generating process specific Host Cell Proteins (HCP) that can be used to develop reagents for process specific impurity assays. Host cell proteins contaminants for biological products are of significant interest to regulatory agencies and this presentation shares our experience in developing the reagents that can be used to develop process specific HCP assays for late stage development and commercialization."
"Increasing the consistency of manufacturing processes is critical for our clients. This is achieved by better understanding the critical process parameters, including the materials used during production and by making adjustments that do not effect critical process characteristics," said Gene Yoshioka, senior director of manufacturing for Avid Bioservices. "One of the case studies being presented demonstrates the potential impact that raw material quality can have on cGMP production. Through better process understanding, we are able to achieve consistent process performance and a high level of quality for the products delivered to our clients."
In addition, Avid Bioservices will host conference attendees in booth #114 in the exhibition hall Monday, March 30th - Thursday, April 2nd.
