Eschewing the Escalation of Salaries as Safety Professionals Grow Scarcer
Alan White at Arriello
Qualified PV professionals are proving particularly hard to hang on to as demand for experienced safety talent soars. As such, it seems like a good time to look beyond financial remuneration as the key to keeping valued staff motivated and loyal.

Bridging the Gap in Personalised Medicine with CAR T Cell Therapies
Filippo Petti at Celyad
CAR T cell therapy holds a lot of potential in terms of serving as a viable treatment for cancer, and an alternative for standard treatment. However, there is still research to be done before any definitive statements are made.

Overcoming the Remaining Hurdles
Dr Patrick Laroche at Janssen Oncology EMEA
Though still in its infancy, CAR T cell therapy has already presented with a great deal of potential; however, it would be wise to keep in mind all the obstacles that still need to be overcome for that potential to be reached.

Murata’s RFID technology helps Bayer revolutionise transparency of its pharmaceutical supply chain
Hoofddorp, Netherlands: Murata ID Solutions has helped life science
giant Bayer’s Italian division, Bayer S.p.A., leverage radio frequency
identification (RFID) tracking in the first large-scale application of
the technology in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The pioneering
project has enabled Bayer to gain real-time visibility over its
distribution processes to optimise customer service, improve product
security and asset tracking, and enhance response to unprecedented
threats.

Orthogonal Approaches for the Analysis of Protein Sequence and Post Translational Modifications of a Monoclonal Antibody
RSSL
Monoclonal antibodies are an important class of biopharmaceuticals. They are expressed from living cells and therefore, are subject to complex biochemical pathways. Not all of these pathways are fully understood and many are known to be sensitive to subtle environmental changes during production. These changes may affect the final biopharmaceutical sequence, structure and post-translational modifications. This is in addition to any changes that may occur during subsequent purification. This means that the final product from one batch may be subtly different from another batch. Furthermore, each batch is a heterogeneous mix of similar molecules. Analysis of the degree of batch-tobatch variation, and batch heterogeneity, is therefore, very important to establish in order to be confident that the drug is safe and effective for medicinal use.
