This summer, several Bayer employees attended IBC’s 5th International Single-Use Applications for Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Conference in San Diego. The conference focused on end-user analysis for cutting-edge implementation experiences and market advancements. This year’s keynote speaker was none other than Bayer’s Russell Wong, senior process development engineer in Manufacturing Sciences.
The IBC conference hosts over 200 major biopharm companies and roughly 20 suppliers. Essentially, it has emerged as the annual meeting place for those who are responsible in their organizations for implementing disposables.
This year, Bayer's presentations were well-received and initiated a number of thought- provoking discussions. As Bayer has been a leader in the use of single-use systems dating back to our days as Cutter, there is great interest in our presentations among those who wish to understand future directions of single-use systems.
As keynote speaker, Russell Wong presented Systems: A Strategic Look Ahead, which examined how the biopharm industry came to embrace the use of disposables for sterile processing and what drives the growth and innovation.
"Single-use systems emerged from a commitment to technology, quality and partnership between entrepreneurial suppliers and end-users,” said Russell. “If you wish to understand where the industry is heading, you must look for examples where all three are present."
