Process analytical Technology for Upstream Bioprocessing



05th March 2018 | 10 AM EST | Dr Erica Fratz-Berilla & Dr Stuart Tindal |WATCH FOR FREE

In commercial cell culture bioprocessing, consistent high quality protein is a fundamental goal that is typically accomplished during development through product and process engineering of bioreactor parameters. The FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER)’s Office of Biotechnology Products’ upstream bioprocessing laboratory, a part of the Office of Pharmaceutical Quality’s Center of Excellence (COE) in Manufacturing Science and Innovation, studies Process Analytical Technology (PAT) for upstream bioprocessing, focusing on the production of monoclonal antibodies. These capabilities are being leveraged to study continuous bioreactor cell culture production and compatible PAT tools. Case studies are presented that illustrate collaborative laboratory research being conducted on PAT tools for upstream bioprocessing to support regulatory decision making.
Presented by Erica Fratz-Berilla Staff Fellow at FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research
Erica Fratz-Berilla leads the cell culture team of upstream bioprocessing within FDA CDER’s Office of Biotechnology Products, Division of Biotechnology Review and Research II. Previously, she was an ORISE fellow in FDA CDER’s Office of Testing and Research working in upstream and downstream bioprocessing. She has experience in cell culture, small-scale bioreactor operation, perfusion technologies, and protein purification. Erica has a B.S. in biochemistry from Lehigh University and a Ph.D. in Medical Sciences from University of South Florida.
