Developing Biotherapeutics for Lung Cancer Treatment
In recent years, biologics — drugs derived from living culture systems — have become increasingly significant in the fight against a plethora of conditions. Unfortunately, the efficiency of these drugs comes at a cost. A daily dose of a biologic drug costs, on average, 22 times more than conventional small-molecule drugs. Therefore, biosimilars are developed to make them more accessible. Lung cancer is an example where the development of biosimilars could increase treatment options available for patients.

Downstream Process Development for the Purification of Biosimilar Insulin from Escherichia coli
This webinar presents a downstream processing workflow for recombinant human insulin production from E. coli. Learn how proinsulin and insulin can be purified.

The Ups and Downs of Biosimilar Development
In this podcast, biosimilar key opinion leader Dr. Paul Rhyne provides an overview of the current state of biosimilars and their global impact. Leveraging his 20+ years of experience in developing biologics, he discusses how cost and patient access play a big role in this new field of research.

Biosimilars: Providing More Treatment Options
It is hoped that the development of biosimilars will lead to more accessible and cost-effective treatment options. Here we explore the current opportunities for biosimilars in rheumatoid arthritis and discuss the opportunities and concerns tied to their use.

What’s New in U.S. Biosimilar-Land?
Biosimilars are gaining in popularity and estimates predict that the U.S. could save between $40–250 billion in healthcare costs over the next decade by switching from biologics to biosimilars. See how biosimilars have gained in popularity recently, the challenges the U.S. faces in developing them, and what the future holds.

The Importance of In Vitro Assays in the Development of Biosimilars
In this podcast, biosimilar expert, Amanda Turner, provides an in-depth explanation of the various in vitro assays used in biosimilar development and the importance of choosing the right assay type and components to achieve success.
