The use of high-density MEAs to probe single cell and network activity electrophysiology of a hiPSC-derived Huntington’s disease model
Complexities related to the development of stable cell lines and increased risk of contamination in upstream and downstream processes, have led many developers to seek critically needed expertise from external partners. Soojin Han, Samsung Biologics America, offers an expert look at the various challenges and tactics that can be applied.
Dr Louis Boon offers guidance on how to select the best CHO cell for the upstream bioprocessing of biologics. He also explains how automation can aid monoclonality and why the most efficient approach during the development of biological drugs is to utilise an established cell line platform.
Aparajita Dubey summarises the recent trends in upstream bioprocessing and highlights the challenges and solutions involved in its process development.
Upstream bioprocessing is the epicentre of biologics development, wherein scientists piece together a series of carefully chosen processes with contributing components and parameters to enable the production of highly effective biotherapeutics. Unjulie Bhanot explains why an effective data management system is vital in this quest for the next big therapeutic.
Cell line development is a major step for examining the efficiency of drug discovery, toxicity and in vitro testing. It reduces time, effort and cost, which minimises the chance of research drugs failing at the clinical trial stage. This stage involves the production of recombinant proteins such as monoclonal antibodies,…
