Go From DNA to IND and Phase I Trials in Just 8 Months With Integrated AI/ML-Driven mAb Manufacturing
June 15, 2026

As monoclonal antibody (mAb) programs approach IND, delays often stem from fragmented development, tech transfer complexity, and limited process efficiency.

In this webinar, Thermo Fisher Scientific presents a reengineered Path to IND for biologics platform that combines advanced platform science with integrated U.S.-based manufacturing to accelerate timelines and reduce risk.

Join our Head of Technical and Scientific Affairs to explore:

  • Expanded mAb manufacturing capacity: Future drug substance and product capacity in Plainville, MA to ease constraints and increase availability at sites like Groningen (NL) and Lengnau (CH).
  • Advanced CHO-K1 platform with AI/ML: High-performing CHO-K1 cell line and process intensification achieving up to 11 g/L,* and enhanced by AI/ML-driven vector design and clone optimization to boost expression, stability, and speed.
  • Accelerated path to IND: End-to-end biologics platform delivering IND-ready material in as little as 8 months with titer levels of up to 8 g/L.*
  • Integrated process characterization and validation: Risk-based approach to PC, PV, and tech transfer to strengthen process robustness and help to accelerate PPQ readiness.
  • Risk-mitigated development approach: Combines QbD, stage-gate governance, and qualified scale-down models to help to reduce variability and enable more predictable scale-up.
  • Flexible scale model: Single-use bioreactor strategy (500–5,000 L) across a global network to streamline tech transfer from development through commercial manufacturing.

Discover how integrating advanced cell line engineering, high-efficiency processes, and a unified U.S. manufacturing strategy can help bring your mAb therapy to IND faster—with greater control and confidence.
