These presentations, interviews, and panel discussions took place at the BPI Theater @ BIO 2018. Focusing on emerging therapies and technologies enabled us to touch upon interconnected topics of interest to both BPI readers and the BIO exhibit-hall attendees. Speakers highlighted new manufacturing techniques that will enable faster speed to market for cell therapies, and flexible manufacturing environments to rapidly shift and produce a variety of biotherapeutic products at clinical and commercial scale.
