Title of the panel discussion:
Challenges and Pitfalls in Selecting and Developing Cell-Based Bioassays
Panel discussion summary

Cell-based bioassays are a cornerstone of potency testing, safety assessment, and regulatory approval, as they provide data that more accurately reflects cellular behavior than assays targeting isolated components. However, their development is highly challenging due to biological variability, complex mechanisms of action, and evolving regulatory expectations, making CBBAs a high-stakes element of drug development. This panel will cover:

- Method selection for different modalities, with a focus on potency
- Key considerations and common pitfalls in assay development
- Examples of potency assays for mAbs, ADCs, and other biologics
