Finding the right CDMO partner for cell line development

Drug Target Review

Together, these attributes provide a strong foundation for protein expression with enough adaptability to produce much of the commercial and therapeutic protein market. Skilled CDMOs can also locate or create favourable genomic microenvironments where transcription factors are efficiently recruited, further boosting protein production.

Beyond Steel Tanks

Codon

In the first real test of delivering a complex biomolecule to over a billion people, little has changed from how Genentech first approached manufacturing in the 1980s; Cells are genetically engineered and then grown in steel tanks. To make matters worse, many companies struggled with engineering problems on the path to scale.
