In the second part of our conversation with Andrea Gough, Senior Director for Advanced Instruments’ Solentim Portfolio, we’ll explore how AI and machine learning have, in recent years, begun to transform various aspects of biotechnology, including cell line development (CLD). Andrea shares insights into how these cutting-edge technologies are being applied to the early stages of clone selection.

AI's capability to analyze images and classify clone viability is another breakthrough. Feeding thousands of images into AI systems allows for efficient and accurate decision-making, reducing the workload on scientists.

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:

• Leverage AI and Machine Learning: Integrate AI to streamline clone selection and optimize cell line development processes. AI can identify key phenotypic identifiers and predict the best clones, driving efficiency and productivity.
• Diversify Expression Systems: While CHO cells dominate the protein therapy space, exploring alternative systems like HEK cells, MSCs, IPSCs, and even insect cells can offer unique benefits and improve gene therapy productions.
• Maintain Comprehensive Documentation: Ensure rigorous tracking and documentation of all processes. From certificates of analysis to raw image data, having meticulous records will safeguard your development process and aid compliance with regulatory standards.

Tune in to the full episode for more insights on overcoming challenges in cell line development and tips for setting up successful bioprocessing workflows!
