Resolving Manufacturing Challenges in Gene Therapy and Advanced Vaccine Production
Wednesday, January 20, 2021
4:00 PM-5:30 PM
BIOMED Seminar
Title:
Resolving Manufacturing Challenges in Gene Therapy and Advanced Vaccine Production
Speaker:
Cameron L. Bardliving, PhD
Director of Process Development and Operations
Jefferson Institute for Bioprocessing (JIB)
Jefferson University
Details:
Demand for production processes of large biotherapeutic particles; in particular, viral vectors and virus like particles, has risen due to increased demand in the gene therapies, cell therapies and advanced vaccines markets. As with most large biologic molecule manufacturing processes, the complexity of the molecule dictates the complexity of the expression system and purification strategies, which accounts for the majority of the production challenges of the next generation biotherapeutics.
Dr. Bardliving will outline his recent research with industry collaborators on strategies for vector yield optimization of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) in a microbial system and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling towards improved process parameter optimization in column chromatography for this class of biologics. He will also describe the growing opportunities for students in biopharmaceutical manufacturing with an emphasis in cell and gene therapy in the greater Philadelphia region.
