293: Is CFD Overkill for Your Scale-Up? Why It Belongs in Every Biotech Scientist's Toolkit with Christian Witz - Part 1

You've perfected your process at the bench. Now comes the part that keeps CMC scientists up at night: will it still work at 2,000L? Right now, most teams find out the hard way, through failed runs, wasted batches, and months of delay to patients waiting on a therapy. Christian Witz believes there's a better way: use computational fluid dynamics to see how your cells will actually behave at full scale before you ever run the process, and stop treating scale-up as a guessing game. On this episo...
