Resumen:The increasing demand for monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics has intensified the need for more efficient and consistent biomanufacturing processes. We present a data-driven, machine-learning (ML) approach to exploring and predicting upstream yield behavior. Drawing on industrial-scale batch records for a single mAb product from a contract development and manufacturing organization, we applied regression models to identify key process parameters and estimate production outcomes. Random forest regression, gradient boosting machine, and support vector regression (SVR) were evaluated to predict three yield indicators: bioreactor final weight (BFW), harvest titer (HT), and packed cell volume (PCV). SVR outperformed other models for BFW prediction (R2 = 0.978), while HT and PCV were difficult to model accurately with the available data. Exploratory analysis using sequential least-squares programming suggested parameter combinations associated with improved yield estimates relative to historical data. Sensitivity analysis highlighted the most influential process parameters. While the findings demonstrate the potential of ML for predictive, data-driven yield improvement, the results should be interpreted as an exploratory proof of concept rather than a fully validated optimization framework. This study highlights the need to incorporate process constraints and control logic, along with interpretable or hybrid modeling frameworks, to enable practical deployment in regulated biomanufacturing environments.
