End-to-end PAT: Connecting advanced analytics and data across the bioprocess lifecycle
Process Analytical Technology (PAT) is widely recognized as a key enabler for Quality by Design and advanced biomanufacturing. Advanced analytical tools are widely used within a PAT framework during process development but extending their impact consistently from development to scale up and GMP manufacturing remains challenging. Method transfer, data integration across systems, and maintaining continuous process understanding are often limited by fragmented data flows and disconnected processes.
This webinar presents an end-to-end approach to make a PAT implementation across the bioprocess lifecycle by combining advanced analytical technologies (NMR, Raman, IR) with integrated data and workflow concepts that enable continuous process understanding from development to manufacturing.
Attendees will learn how an integrated approach to instrumentation, data management, and analytics enables consistent process understanding, smoother tech transfer, and faster, more confident decision making across the product lifecycle. Real world examples from chemical synthesis and bioprocessing will illustrate how organizations can reduce silos, avoid reengineering at each stage, and maintain a single source of truth from lab to plant, and back again.
Why this discussion is different
- A single, integrated view of PAT analytics, instrumentation, and data workflows
- One partner supporting R&D, scale up, and manufacturing, not disconnected tools
- Deep domain expertise spanning process scientists, analytical chemists, digital and data experts
- Practical insight into translating real process challenges into deployable digital solutions

Speaker: Dr. Alejandro Bara-Estaún (Solution Product Manager for (bio)Process Analytical Technology, Bruker BioSpin)
Dr. Alejandro Bara-Estaún obtained his Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry and FlowNMR at the University of Bath, UK. He then undertook a two-year postdoctoral position at Bruker, leading the PIPAc project in collaboration with Alysohpil, Novalix, and De Dietrich. Recently, he transitioned into the role of Solution Product Manager for (bio)Process Analytical Technology within Bruker’s Biopharma and Applied (BPA) division.
Speaker: Paul Gillham (Director of Innovations, SciY)
Paul Gillham is the Director of Innovation at SciY where he leads a team of scientists, mathematicians and engineers. He has over twenty years of experience in the implementation of digitalization for life sciences, notably in the field of PAT (Process Analytical Technologies), with a focus on data management, analysis and communication. He read Physics at the University of Bath and has worked in different industries before joining Optimal, to work on the synTQ suite of software. In April 2022 Optimal was purchased and placed into the SciY group of companies, which has a broad portfolio of software applications within its data management platform. His main aim at SciY is to advance data use, analysis and to action control of customer’s processes, based on understanding and good science.
