Smarter Drug Development for Biologics with In-Silico Modelling

The development of new protein therapeutics is a complex and costly process, often hindered by late-stage failures due to poor drug-like properties or instability of drug candidates. In silico modeling has emerged as a powerful tool to identify potential risks early, analyze structural properties, and inform formulation optimization strategies. The integration of computational approaches with experimental developability assessments enables data-driven decision-making, reducing development time, costs and material constraints. This webinar explores recent advances in in-silico tools and demonstrates how computational methods streamline drug development and enhance formulation success.

In the first part of the session, Tim Menzen, Chief Technology Officer at Coriolis, providea a general introduction to in silico applications and their key areas of use at Coriolis, including particle identification, lyophilization process development, and developability assessment. He discusses the integration of in silico models with experimental approaches, highlighting their combined potential for optimizing drug development.

In the second part, Andrea Arsiccio, Senior Scientist at Coriolis Pharma, presents different case studies to demonstrate the role of in silico modeling in developability assessment and early formulation development. He will demonstrate how these approaches can help minimize risks, shorten development times, and enhance decision-making, offering valuable insights for scientists and researchers.
