HTPD 2014

The plans are now well advanced for the HTPD meeting in 2014 and it will be announced on this site shortly.

High-Throughput Process Development

Welcome to HTPD meetings, a conference series devoted to high-throughput process development (HTPD). The first meeting in 2010 was held in Kraków, Poland and the second in 2012 in Avignon, France. These historic cities, listed as UNESCO Heritage sites, together with two very successful conferences have established a setting for future HTPD meetings.

Conference goal

HTPD meetings are sponsored by GE Healthcare Life Sciences, with the active involvement of industry experts. The meeting provides a forum for discussion and exchange of ideas surrounding the challenges and benefits of employing high-throughput techniques in the development of processes and stable formulations for the manufacture of biological products. HTPD meetings offer an excellent opportunity to influence the future of high-throughput process development methods in our industry. Opportunities for sponsorship are available. Contact the Secretariat.

HTPD Challenges

Although several high-throughput methods are routinely used for process development there are still many challenges to address. Examples include potential analytical bottlenecks, effects of scale and formats on data, interpretation of data, and adequate control of experimental conditions at the microscale. Analytical bottlenecks here relate to the limited number of quick methods for the determination of critical quality attributes, especially for biomolecules that are not monoclonal antibodies, and/or to challenges associated with assessing drug product stability. Both the scale of HTPD experiments and the formats used can affect results.

The scope of the meetings cover process development from upstream processing, through downstream processing, to stable formulation.

UNESCO World Heritage sites

The meetings will if possible continue to be held in cities cited on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

 

The 2012 conference was held in Centre des Congrès du Palais des Papes, a World Heritage site, in Avignon, France.
