  • (1888PressRelease) June 27, 2018 - A brief overview from Q&A sessions with:
    • Fabrice Schlegel - Senior Engineer at Amgen
    • Mohamed AbouGhaly - Postdoctoral Researcher at Purdue University
    • Timothy McCoy, Associate Director, Pharmaceutical Development Biologics at Sanofi

    *****What do you see as the greatest challenge to overcome in the field at the moment?*****

    Fabrice Schlegel: Lack of resources invested by biotech companies in the development of more innovative processes for lyophilization.

    Mohamed AbouGhaly: The greatest challenge is in turning process from a trial and error approach to a more systematic and predictable approach.

    Timothy McCoy: Scalability is always a challenge; especially with the freezing step. There are currently techniques out there to better control the ice nucleation process, and to allow better control of primary and secondary drying.

    *****What technology has really caught your eye in the Lyophilization field in the past year?*****
    Fabrice Schlegel: The move from in-vivo to in-silico experiments to reduce the experimental burden related to lyophilization process development.

    Mohamed AbouGhaly: The continuous advances in wireless temperature probes that can monitor products in process.

    Timothy McCoy: I am not sure if there have been many new technological innovations over the last year, that are completely new to the field. However, many technologies have been improved and expanded. I am interested in the mini lyophilizer systems such as microFD and LyoCapsule; PAT technologies such as LyoDEA.
