Biopharmaceutical Production

Engineering mammalian cells and birds for novel production of therapeutic proteins and glycans.

RESEARCH / Biopharmaceutical Production

Research projects

High-productivity CHO cells

Inducible gene expression and culture-temperature control are combined to improve antibody productivity.

CHO-derived heparin-like products

Engineering glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis enables the production of anticoagulant heparin-like materials. This technology remains under development.

Transgenic birds

Transgenic chickens were developed as bioreactors for recombinant proteins; related technology has contributed to veterinary pharmaceutical production.
