Bioprocess development refers to the activities undertaken to understand the relationships between process parameters and process outputs for the purposes of developing a viable, ideally optimized, biomanufacturing process. Given the associated complexity, developing a bioprocess is time-consuming and costly, with traditional methods relying on extensive experimentation and trial-and-error approaches. We are actively researching advanced approaches to bioprocess development for streamlined developmental lifecycles, reduced costs, and maximized production efficiencies. Additionally, we are interested in improving efficiencies and outputs through intensified fed-batch and perfusion strategies. Through this work, we aim to achieve industrially-relevant protein production quantities at a fraction of the time and cost of current industrial production platforms.
