Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across three continents. While we work in science, there’s no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that’s the kind of work we want to be part of.
Today Drug product process development is a crucial area in Drug product services (DPS) as Lonza expands further into the area of commercial DP manufacturing in addition to previously announced investments in the area. This expansion translates to a change in the portfolio of development programs to a late-stage product mix. The Process development team has supported this change and continues to not only work on a growing number of later stage and pre-BLA programs but also supports the DP manufacturing network in its growth projects.
