06: Hybrid Modeling: The Key to Smarter Bioprocessing w/ Michael Sokolov - Part 2

In the second part of our conversation with Michael Sokolov, the co-founder and COO of DataHow, we dive into practical insights on leveraging hybrid modeling in bioprocessing.You will discover:1. Starting Small, Dreaming Big: Even in smaller companies, you can start with a minimal number of reactors and still leverage hybrid modeling effectively. Whether it's just a few shakers or a handful of bioreactors, you can begin the journey to process improvement.2. The Power of Digital Twins: Michael sheds light on the concept of digital twins, which involves creating a real-time model of your bioprocess. It not only helps optimize the process but also enables feedback control, reducing manual operations and adapting to changes on the fly.3. Regulatory Acceptance: While the pharmaceutical industry is known for its conservatism, regulators are becoming more receptive to innovative technologies like hybrid modeling. Health authorities are encouraging the use of promising tools in process development and are not imposing specific technologies. As more companies adopt these tools and gather data on their effectiveness, they are likely to play a more prominent role in regulatory filings.Don't miss out on this insightful discussion with Michael Sokolov as he unravels the potential of hybrid modeling in bioprocessing. If you're looking to simplify and streamline your bioprocessing journey, this episode is a must-listen.Connect with Michael Sokolov:Website: www.datahow.chSupport the show
