A Scalable Platform for GMP and High-Quality Plasmid Manufacturing

This webcast features: Dr. Mack Kuo, Associate Director BioProcess Development, Wacker Biotech US Inc. Demand for high-quality good manufacturing practice (GMP) plasmid DNA has grown significantly in the past few years. The recent proliferation of mRNA manufacturing, DNA vaccines, viral vector production, CAR T-cell therapies, and CRISPR gene editing technologies have all contributed to a bottleneck in availability of plasmid manufacturing capability. With decades of collective plasmid DNA manufacturing experience, the staff at Wacker Biotech US have released over 100…

TESSA Technology: A Plasmid-Free, Scalable System to Transform AAV Manufacture

This webcast features: Dr. Weiheng Su, Principal Scientist, OXGENE Adenoassociated virus (AAV) is a popular choice of viral vector for new gene therapies, but manufacturing systems have not kept pace with biological advances, leaving these therapies costly, difficult to produce at scale, and subject to inherent batch-to-batch variability. In this webinar, Dr. Weiheng Su describes how rethinking AAV manufacture “from the ground up” allowed OXGENE to manipulate AAV’s natural relationship with adenovirus to address these challenges with their novel tetracycline-enabled…
