Cell Therapy Manufacturing: David Estapé Speaking at Bioprocessing Summit Europe 2026
Feb 18, 2026
David Estapé, Technology Manager and Senior Fellow, Process Engineering, will be speaking at Bioprocessing Summit Europe, taking place on 11–12 March 2026 in Barcelona, within the Cell Therapy Manufacturing track.
Leaky Bags, Lost Therapies? Risk‑Informed Insights for Cell‑Therapy Manufacturing
Wednesday, March 11, 9:30 – 10:00 AM
To avoid costly batch discards, manufacturing challenges—such as bag integrity—must be considered early in the research and development phase. Leaks in single‑use systems pose a significant contamination risk in cell therapy manufacturing, directly impacting product quality, process robustness, and patient safety.
The presentation introduces a risk‑informed approach to evaluating leaks, supporting manufacturers in making data‑driven decisions that reduce unnecessary product loss while strengthening manufacturing reliability across the cell therapy lifecycle.
The insights were developed within BioPhorum and reflect close collaboration between industry experts, suppliers, and manufacturers, highlighting the value of cross‑industry alignment when addressing shared challenges in advanced therapy manufacturing.
With extensive experience in biopharmaceutical and cell therapy process engineering, David Estapé applies risk‑based thinking to the design and optimization of modern manufacturing strategies for advanced therapies.
