Towards a scalable bioprocess for rAAV production using a stable cell line systems

In this presentation we will discuss key aspects related to rAAV production systems' scalability, addressing challenges and future directions for product characterization. Our research lies in improving stable cell line-based production systems for rAAV production. How to optimise the cell line generation process and improve the cell host by CRISPR-Cas9 genetic screen and single cell RNA-seq approaches will be discussed.

Mammalian expression of Difficult-to-express proteins: Insights into BiTE® molecule production bottlenecks

Recombinant protein expression is a highly regulated process consisting of transcription, translation, and protein folding. CHO-based expression often stays challenging for artificial therapeutic proteins, like Bispecific T-cell Engagers (BiTE®) due to reduced productivity compared to monoclonal antibodies. A differentiated insight into the evaluation of expression steps will be given, as well as strategies to find bottlenecks.
