| CBI’s BioMAN Research Program to Host Summit on Implementing Innovation in Biomanufacturing. (November 18, 2011) On Friday, November 18th the CBI BioMAN program will host its 4th Annual Summit on Biomanufacturing in MIT’s Bartos Theater. This all-day event, featuring panel discussions and presentations by MIT faculty, members of the biomanufacturing industry, and the FDA will examine how new science and engineering can reduce the barriers to regulatory approval of biotherapeutic drugs. Secondly, this Summit will explore potential opportunities for innovation in the production of antibodies, biosimilars, and therapeutic proteins. The day will end with a networking poster session highlighting innovative research related to biomanufacturing at MIT. Agenda and Event Details |
| CBI’s Biomanufacturing Research Program Featured in MIT’s Technology Review. (July 15, 2011) A recent Technology Review article asks the question “Why is Biomanufacturing So Hard?” The article discusses the challenges faced by the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry and the work being done by Chris Love and the CBI’s Biomanufacturing Research Program to address those challenges. |
| CBI’s BioMAN Research Program Hosts Summit on Science to Manage Risk in Biomanufacturing. (November 17, 2010) Thought leaders from industry, government and academia met at MIT’s Wong Auditorium to discuss the inherent risks faced in biomanufacturing and new science and technologies to help manage that risk. Summary of event. Event Details. |
| CBI’s Biomanufacturing Research Program Wins Grant from Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. (March 2010) The Center for Biomedical Innovation’s Biomanufacturing Research Program (BioMAN) was recently awarded a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to examine the effect of globalization on regulatory compliance for biopharmaceutical product manufacturing, the behavior of manufacturing firms in this environment, and the impact of FDA policy on biopharmaceutical manufacturing regulatory performance. This project is a collaborative effort involving faculty from MIT’s Biology Department (Professor Anthony J. Sinskey), Engineering Systems Division (Professor Roy Welsch) and the Sloan School of Management (Professor Scott Stern), along with researchers from Georgetown University (Professor Jeffrey Macher) the University of Prince Edward Island (Professor Reuben Domike). |
