Cell Engineering

Applying sophisticated cell line engineering tools can increase yield and quality of biopharmaceuticals for protein-based, viral gene, and cell-based therapies. Cellular bottlenecks in manufacturing are increasingly deciphered and can thus be overcome right from the start. The Cell Engineering session will provide an increased understanding of the basic biology underlying superior recombinant protein and viral vector production systems and feature novel technologies or strategies to overcome bottlenecks. Synthetic biology and high-throughput screening approaches to significantly advance cell line development will also be in scope, as well as host cell and vector engineering, cell line development and characterization, enhancement of cell line stability and biomarkers for cell line performance. 

Highlights: 

• Cell line and vector engineering for proteins and emerging modalities 
• Novel screening, characterization and engineering techniques 
• Underlying biological mechanisms and synthetic biology
