This document outlines 10 hot topics in biomanufacturing: 1) product mix and business models in biopharma, 2) high-titer processes in mammalian cell culture, 3) downstream processing being driven by mass rather than volume, 4) facility fit considerations, 5) cost of goods and price margin pressures, 6) biosimilars and biobetters, 7) offshore manufacturing, 8) technology platforms and implications of high titer, 9) emerging technologies for biomass removal and contaminant clearance, and 10) single-use technologies and integrated processing. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the need for new perspectives and solutions to address challenges in biomanufacturing.

8. Hot Topic 3: Downstream Processing is Mass- not Volume Driven
Jim Davis, Lonza Economics of Monoclonal Antibody Production: The relationship between upstream titer and
downstream costs; IBC San Diego March 2008
9. Hot Topic 4: Facility Fit
Dr. Christian Eckermann, Boehringer Ingelheim 2007
10. Hot Topic 5: COGs and Price – Margin pressure from both sides
Technical challenge
Sensitive and technically demanding products require processes with inherent
complexity and expensive infrastructure
Need for robust & scalable processes for the entire DSP
Increasing regulatory scrutiny (Comparability!)
Financial challenge
Processes are fixed-cost driven (Investment vs Consumables)
Manufacturing costs 15 - 25% of sales price
Costs for DSP up to 75% of manufacturing costs
Cost Balance Benefit for innovative treatments
Biosimilars
11. Hot Topic 5: COGs and Price – Margin pressure from both sides
Biomanufacturing is fixed cost driven
