CRB

Aseptic processing has changed a lot over the last few decades. The expectations for risk control, clarity, and consistency have changed too. In a recent Pharmaceutical Online article, CRB expert Christa Myers shared perspective from a panel at the ISPE Aseptic Conference on what’s driving aseptic evolution and what it takes to keep up. A few themes surfaced: 🧠 Clear understanding across teams matters as much as technical depth 🔍 Data and root-cause analysis are essential to managing risk ✅ Legacy systems still need practical, risk-based justification 👉 A practical read for sterile manufacturing and quality teams here: https://lnkd.in/euDCBtjc #AsepticProcessing #SterileManufacturing #LifeSciences #RiskManagement

This week, our project teams across CRB paused their work to recognize Construction Safety Week—a reminder that safety is not limited to a single week on the calendar. For CRB and our clients, it's a daily commitment, reinforced through planning, communication, and looking out for one another on every jobsite. We're grateful our teams could take time to step back, reflect, and recommit to the practices that help ensure everyone goes home safe at the end of the day. #ConstructionSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst #JobsiteSafety #BuildSafe #ProjectTeams

Great design shows up in the details, especially in spaces where the work is mission-critical. Congratulations to AstraZeneca and to our interior design team—Lauren Humphreys, NCIDQ, IIDA and Stephanie Nguyen, NCIDQ, IIDA—for being recognized with an IIDA Mid Atlantic Chapter Premiere Design Award in the Science + Technology category. 🏆 In cell therapy manufacturing environments, interior design directly shapes how teams move throughout the space, stay focused, and support critical work. Those details matter every day. As Lauren Humphreys put it: 💡“Walking away with this award not only highlights the talent among the CRB team but also celebrates the impact of our client’s missions – how we connect that to design and the user experience.” 🔗 Read more about the project: https://lnkd.in/dhKCBKBg #InteriorDesign #LifeSciences #CellTherapy #DesignExcellence #EngineeringAndDesign Jarvis Randall Rachel Pourier

Robotics is becoming the baseline in the aseptic core. 🤖 CRB experts Christa Myers and Todd Vaughn are featured in PharmTech (Pharmaceutical Technology) following their in‑person interview at INTERPHEX Global. In part 1 of a two-part interview, they discuss how robotics is reshaping aseptic manufacturing as regulatory expectations rise and sterility assurance takes center stage—and why execution can still be a challenge. 📖 Read the published article: https://lnkd.in/emTNRCfq 👉 More insights to come in part 2. #AsepticManufacturing #PharmaEngineering #Robotics #Automation #INTERPHEX Christopher Cole

Today kicks off Construction Safety Week, an important reminder that safety — from home to the jobsite and back again — is a commitment we make to one another every day.   Across our projects, offices, and project teams, safety shows up in our planning, communication, and the willingness to speak up when something doesn’t look right. It’s reinforced through preparation, shared accountability, and respect for the work being done.   At CRB, we recognize the field teams, project partners, and clients who put safety first, usually in ways that never make headlines. Thank you to those who help ensure the people behind the work go home safe, every day.   #ConstructionSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst #JobsiteSafety #ConstructionLife #BuildSafe #ProjectDelivery

ISPE Europe 2026 may be over, but the great conversations are still with us. We appreciated the chance to exchange ideas around project delivery, engineering decisions, and what it takes to move complex work forward with clarity. These kinds of open, experience‑driven conversations are what make gatherings like this valuable. Thank you to ISPE and the broader life sciences community for an engaging and well‑run conference. We’re glad to have been part of it. 🤝 #ISPE #ISPEEurope #LifeSciences #PharmaEngineering Estapé David Dave DiProspero Jochen Schmidt-Nawrot Yvonne Duckworth, PE Eric Unrau Peter Fischer Manuela Ghebreyesus Manuel Puntscher Simone Grether Christian Goesker

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. At work and beyond, mental health is part of everyday life. Many of us are affected, directly or indirectly, by mental health challenges. They may touch our colleagues, family members, friends, clients, or communities. Those experiences aren’t always visible, but they matter. 💚 At CRB, supporting a healthy workplace means prioritizing compassion, understanding, and connection. That includes encouraging honest conversations and recognizing that well-being looks different for everyone. The National Alliance on Mental Illness’s theme for Mental Health Awareness Month is “Stigma grows in silence. Healing begins in community.” NAMI offers education and resources for individuals and families navigating mental health challenges.
