In-silico bioprocess modeling for CHO process development
Process development forces high-impact decisions from limited data — which media, feed strategies, inoculum conditions and set points are most likely to improve yield and robustness. Brute-force screening can't cover the space: even a moderate number of media variants, feed settings and inoculation strategies produces a design that's too large, too slow, and too expensive to run.
This paper describes a modeling framework that learns a compact representation of bioprocess dynamics from historical run data, then acts as a digital twin — simulating expected trajectories from planned set points alone. Trained on historical fed-batch CHO runs spanning 5–500 L, it lets teams evaluate candidate conditions in silico and take only the most informative ones to the bench.
