Bioconversations - Demystifying Science

Every biologic has a hidden fingerprint and physicochemical characterization is how we read it. In Episode 5 of #Bioconversations: Demystifying Science, host Dr. Kavita Rao sits down with Dr. Navaratna Vajpai, Project Group Lead – Analytical Sciences, Biocon Biologics, to help understand the world of physicochemical characterization. The word may sound complex, but Dr. Vajpai simplifies it, to show how this powerful set of analytical tools ensures every biological therapy meets the highest bar for

In Episode 4 of our vodcast series Bioconversations: Demystifying Science, as we continue exploring the fascinating world of biologics product development, our focus this time shifts to the science of formulation. Join our host, Kavita Rao, in conversation with Dr. Karthik Ramani, Global Head of Manufacturing Sciences and Technology (MSAT) at Biocon Biologics. Both our guest and host are formulation scientists and teaming up to simplify the most critical phases in biologics development: Formulation

In Episode 3 of our vodcast series #Bioconversations: Demystifying Science, we continue our journey through the world of biologics — moving from growing cells to purifying the proteins they produce. Join us in this conversation along with our host Dr.Kavita Rao in conversation with Anirudh Vasudevan, Downstream Function Lead, R&D at Biocon Biologics, as they demystify the critical steps of Downstream Processing — the science of purifying biologics. Downstream Processing is one of the most

In this episode of  Demystifying Science:, Dr. Kavita Rao gets into a conversation with Ms. Prajna Udupa, Cell Culture Scientist at Biocon Biologics R&D, who explains the science and significance of cell culture, which is a critical step in biologics manufacturing. From creating an optimal environment for cells to thrive, to ensuring they produce high-quality biotherapeutics, this episode offers a simplified yet insightful glimpse into the important work, upstream scientists do to enable the

We explore the significance of the Cell Bank, a critical step in Upstream Processing and the foundation of biologics development. This segment takes you through the fundamentals of creating, establishing, and maintaining cell banks, which serve as the starting point for bringing life-saving therapies to patients. Watch Kavita Rao, in conversation with Chandrashekhar KN as they demystify upstream processing, a crucial phase in the journey of a biologic.
