172: Reimagining Chromatography for Advanced Therapies: From Diffusion to Convection with Scott Wheelwright - Part 2
Downstream processing remains one of the most complex and critical steps in biomanufacturing, especially as new therapeutic modalities like cell and gene therapies push current technologies to their limits. The industry faces ongoing pressure to innovate, reduce costs, and improve efficiency, while still ensuring robust and reliable results.
In this practical, energetic episode, host David Brühlmann welcomes Scott Wheelwright, Chairman, CTO and Co-Founder of BioChromatographix International (BCI). With a career spanning continents - Asia, Europe, and North America - Scott's perspective is forged from hands-on manufacturing, technology transfer, and building high-growth companies from scratch. He’s not just innovating the science behind chromatography; he’s lived the manufacturing realities, spanning everything from precision antibodies to complex gene therapies, and now leads a team solving the tough purification puzzles holding progress back.
Here are three reasons why this episode is a must-listen:
- Continuous Innovation in Chromatography: Despite a hundred-year legacy, chromatography still holds tremendous untapped potential, especially with new materials and continuous processing, as Scott highlighted with real examples from gene and cell therapy applications.
- Bridging Lab to Market Needs Customer Focus: Getting new technology into commercial use requires not just technical innovation, but deep user engagement, robust feedback loops, and iterative improvement, plus ongoing education to help users understand new benefits.
- Embrace Experimentation and Global Collaboration: Whether building companies in Asia, Europe, or the U.S., Scott reminds us that learning from failure, being open to international collaboration, and not being afraid to try new things are essential for long-term growth (and enjoying the biotech journey along the way!).
