    Episode: 10 - Unlocking Smarter Bioprocessing through Better Data Collection, Quality, and Analysis

    Everyone wants smarter bioprocessing, yet most teams are still fighting the same battle they fought years ago: inconsistent information, messy process data, and systems that were never designed to support analysis. At this year's Bioprocessing Summit Europe, industry experts gathered on a panel to address these gaps, explore why data challenges persist, and discuss why the hardest part is often data engineering and harmonization. Moderated by Maximilian Krippl, Ph.D., head of bioprocess modeling consulting at Novasign, the panel consisted of Andrea Arsiccio, Ph.D., senior scientist and team lead in silico at Coriolis Pharma; Ayca Cetinkaya, Ph.D., senior scientist at AstraZeneca; Mario P. Pereira, Ph.D., director of technology and business development at ATUM; and Jack Prior, Ph.D., head of process monitoring and data science and AI strategy at Sanofi. Their discussion also explores strategies to transform raw information into actionable insight and practical guidance to make data comparable and usable.

    Episode: 8 - Jack Prior of Sanofi on AI Readiness in Biomanufacturing

    In this episode of Bioprocessing Unfiltered, Jack Prior, head of process monitoring and data science and AI strategy at Sanofi, explores how AI has evolved from early expert systems to machine learning, generative AI, and agentic AI, and what that means for biomanufacturing today. He explains why digital transformation has not automatically created usable data, and why the real challenge is turning fragmented information from manufacturing systems into accessible, authentic, and analysis-ready data. Jack shares a practical framework for assessing data maturity and argues that the biggest near-term opportunity for AI is reducing friction in data engineering, troubleshooting, tech transfer, and decision support across bioprocessing organizations.  Links from this episode:   Bioprocessing Summit  Sanofi      Bioprocessing Unfiltered: Covering both upstream and downstream processing, analytics, AI and digitization, cell and gene therapy and more, Bioprocessing Unfiltered is your insider’s pass to the researchers tackling—and solving—the day-to-day challenges in the bioprocessing industry.

    Episode: 7 - Anurag Rathore on Platform Processes, Chromatography, and Expanding Education

    Anurag Rathore, professor of chemical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, joins Bioprocessing Unfiltered with host Alois Jungbauer to discuss his long career in advancing bioprocessing engineering. Rathore shares his thoughts on chromatography, using platform processes to accelerate process development, how infinity capture can be a way to arrive at platform processes, and if there is a need for alternative methods. He also explores updates needed to the traditional curriculum of biochemical engineering—and if the next generation should know how to use AI and ML—and his view on bioprocess and development.  Links from this episode:   Bioprocessing Summit  Indian Institute of Technology Delhi  Bioprocessing Unfiltered: Covering both upstream and downstream processing, analytics, AI and digitization, cell and gene therapy and more, Bioprocessing Unfiltered is your insider’s pass to the researchers tackling—and solving—the day-to-day challenges in the bioprocessing industry.
