Manage episode 506815137 series 3557643
Can artificial intelligence really cut biomanufacturing timelines from years to hours? The answer is yes — and it’s already happening.
In this episode, we sit down with Justin Byers, founder and CEO of Axio BioPharma, to explore how AI-driven biomanufacturing is transforming the development of monoclonal antibodies, biologics, and vaccines. By leveraging machine learning, digital twins, and predictive modeling, Axio is slashing development costs, reducing failure rates, and accelerating drug development pipelines like never before.
Justin shares:
- How AI accelerates biomanufacturing from molecule design to full-scale production
- Why monoclonal antibodies are the ideal starting point for AI-enabled biologics development
- How digital twins of bioreactors and in silico models predict outcomes before wet lab experiments
- The role of AI in cell line selection, upstream fermentation, and downstream purification
- How predictive AI is reducing failed batches, impurities, and costly manufacturing runs
- The regulatory perspective — why the FDA is embracing AI models for drug development
- The future of AI in rare disease therapies and personalized medicine
- How startups and small biotech companies can now compete with Big Pharma thanks to AI-driven cost savings
Byers explains how Axio’s platform is already saving clients 12–18 months and $1M+ per project, while unlocking opportunities to treat rare and ultra-rare diseases once considered commercially unviable.
If you’re in biopharma, biotech, pharma manufacturing, or drug discovery, this conversation is essential listening.
