Joseph Shultz, VP and technical head of biologics and vaccines at Resilience, and John Bonham-Carter, board member and VP of business development and product management at Erbi Biosystems, discuss the financial considerations biopharma companies face when implementing a continuous strategy. Shultz talks about the mindset of the senior leadership at Amgen—and then Novartis—that lead to the eventual adoption of a new bioprocessing system and how their strategies benefit multiple teams within a single organization. He also discusses the importance of setting key milestones to track successes and failures, the business parameters best suited for continuous bioprocessing, and the real and imagined hurdles associated with continuous over batch processing.
