Modernizing media development for the next generation of biomanufacturing

Cell culture media plays a critical role in biomanufacturing, yet media development has changed remarkably little over recent decades. While advances in cell engineering, analytics, and manufacturing have transformed the industry, media optimization often still relies on approaches developed long before today's complex products and processes emerged. An engineering-led approach offers a new way forward, combining automation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven experimentation to generate better data, learn faster, and design media tailored to the needs of specific cells and applications. This article explores why media development is due for a modern overhaul and how engineering principles are helping to unlock better outcomes across biomanufacturing.
