In 2020, Bioworkshops continued to breakthrough
and develop at a high speed. As a new CDMO, “Bioworkshops speed” has become recognized
within the industry and acclaimed by our customers. In the past year,
Bioworkshops exceeded its targets and achieved great results.
Practice speed
In 2020, The rapid development of our busines is
based on solid foundation and a strong team.
In May 2020, we completed the construction and validation
of all facilities including 4,800m² of cGMP Drug Substance and Fill&Ffinish workshops. This marked the end of our initial building
phase and move into full operation for the 28000m² self-owned
factory in Suzhou. It only took 88 days to complete the construction of the GMP
drug substance workshop, built to take a maximum capacity of 6×2,000L, and
quickly started the first batch of pilot scale GMP production. In July 2020, we
delivered the first batch of 500L GMP production. Our expert team took only 4
months from the completion of the plant to deliver 3 batches of GMP drug
substance and drug product for the first project. Later in the year we set an
even faster record, completing a campaign of GMP drug substance and drug product
batches only 94 days after receiving the top 6 clones from our client.
In 2020, we streamlined processes for technology
transfer and reinforced our CMC development technology service platform. Process development, transfer to production,
and GMP pilot manufacturing were completed for 3 projects, with a success-rate of
100%.
Bioworkshops is the youngest biologics CDMO in
Suzhou, but the deep biopharmaceutical product development experience of our
staff up to 2,000L scale is without parallel. We are committed to deliver novel
medicines at “Bioworkshops speed” for more customers across all scales of
production up to 2,000L.
Recognition of quality
In November 2020, we undertook and successfully passed
an EU QP audit for manufacture of Drug Substance and Drug Product, confirming
that we provide customers with the production and analytical services that meet
EU GMP standards for investigational medicinal products. The facilities,
equipment, and quality system of Bioworkshops were proven to be of international
standard.
In November, we also passed an on-site inspection
by the Jiangsu Provincial Drug Administration and obtained a Drug Manufacturing
License.
During the year, Bioworkshops also successfully
passed on-site inspections by numerous clients .
