In this talk, we provide a compelling overview of how predictive models are used at various stages of development and manufacturing in the biopharmaceutical industry. Case studies covering a wide range of the biologic product chain from drug substance to drug product and devices are presented, to show how modeling contributes to the scientific advancement, strategic objectives, and bottom line of our technical operations at Biogen. While our main focus is on mainstream applications of CFD modeling in the biopharmaceutical industry, non-traditional uses of CFD and other first-principles modeling techniques will also be presented here. Through this presentation, we intend to provide inspiring perspectives on the value of predictive models and advocate their increased adoption in the Biopharmaceutical industry.
