Dr. Massimo Morbidelli is giving the Keynote Presentation in the “Protein Purification Technologies” conference that’s part of CHI’s 11th annual PEGS Summit Europe in Lisbon Portugal.  Dr. Morbidelli is an internally recognized expert in protein purification, and shares his insights about continuous processing, its applications, challenges and future outlooks.Continuous countercurrent chromatography is recognized as the technology of choice for a number of instances in the area of protein purification. Approaching its maturity stage, this technology has to be reconsidered with respect to crucial aspects for its future development. In particular, we discuss issues related to scalability in the GMP environment, model-based process characterization and validation, as well as process automation, control and digitalization particularly in the context of continuous integrated manufacturing.
