The pursuit of optimal upstream processing continues to drive the biopharmaceutical industry toward greater productivity, improved product quality, and enhanced cost efficiency. This year’s Upstream Processing theme brings together two dynamic conferences: Cell Line Engineering & Development and Cell Culture Optimization & Scale-Up, offering a comprehensive exploration of cutting-edge advancements in upstream innovations. From host cell engineering, vector design to AI-driven clone screening and media/feed optimization, these two conferences will pave a roadmap toward scalability, efficiency and robustness in upstream processing. 

Conferences Include:
