Justin Byers | Axio BioPharma - Building the Data Foundation for AI-Ready Biomanufacturing

Tuesday, September 15, 2026 • Duration 26:36

In this episode of Executive Insights for Life Sciences Innovators, Don Alexander speaks with Justin Byers, Founder and CEO of Axio BioPharma.

Justin discusses why the next generation of AI-enabled biomanufacturing depends on something more fundamental than better algorithms: better access to structured, contextualized process data. The conversation explores how fragmented information across labs, manufacturing sites, sponsors, and external partners can slow development, complicate tech transfer, and limit the value organizations can extract from AI.

Justin also shares perspective from his career across analytical science, process development, commercialization, and company building. He discusses Axio BioPharma’s approach to connecting real-world laboratory execution with broader process knowledge, the challenges of transferring knowledge across organizational boundaries, and what life sciences leaders should consider as they prepare their manufacturing operations for more effective use of AI.
