A directed evolution system, VEGAS, works in mammalian cells and can yield useful new molecules within days, providing scientist with a powerful new research tool and a potential route to better therapeutics.
An Integrated Digital Vision for Biomanufacturing’s Future
The pharmaceutical market is changing rapidly thanks to the success of biologics and other cell and gene therapies. The FDA, meanwhile, expects to be approving 10–20 new gene and cell therapies annually from 2025. GE Healthcare hopes to tackle the challenges of manufacturing new gene and cell therapies with systems integration and digitization.
Amicus, Thermo Fisher’s Brammer Bio Partner on Gene Therapy Manufacturing
Amicus Therapeutics will address clinical and commercial supply needs for its intrathecal AAV Batten disease gene therapy programs by partnering with Thermo Fisher Scientific’s recently-acquired Brammer Bio.
Bioreactor Design Adapts to Biopharma’s Changing Needs
Responsiveness to user needs, not an enthusiasm for bells and whistles, is what drives bioreactor design, which strives to improve process control, ease of use, scalability, and more.
Liquid Biopsy Technologies Diversify in Expanding CTC Field
CTCs have a lot to say about cancer and where it’s going, but they don’t say it loudly. Fortunately, they are finding their voice thanks to microfluidics, immunomagnetic separation, and other technologies.
Achieving Unique Synergies in Antibody Expression
Combining a gene expression platform and a clonal selection platform, says Catalent, can offer advantages to cell line development, expediting the generation of stable, higher expressing clones.
