    In our February 2010 special report, “The Time Has Come for Automation in Bioprocessing,” one theme that made itself clear was the need for vendors, biopharmaceutical companies, and sometimes even regulators to work together toward the goal of better, faster, and cheaper product development through (among other things) automation technologies. Martin Rhiel of Novaris cell and process R&D told us, “It would be really nice to just buy it and implement it, but this doesn’t always work. . . .

The problem of declining return on investment (ROI) is exacerbated by generic erosion, increased scrutiny from the FDA on the issue of drug safety, price controls and pressure from pending healthcare reform legislation, and increased hurdles for safety and/or efficacy in the new era of comparative effectiveness (CE)...
