IBioNe welcomes new member: Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

The National Biologics Facility at DTU offers industrial and academically based expertise and uniquely customized services for the early discovery and developmental stages of protein-based therapeutics, from early drug discovery to pre-clinical development, using standard as well as more advanced in-house developed mammalian production systems.

Their mission is to service academics and SMEs to develop protein based biopharmaceuticals for their targets of interest, to perform research to accelerate the development of protein biopharmaceuticals in CHO cells, including the improvement of protein secretion, human-like glycosylation and data-driven bioprocess optimization and to support and develop existing DTU educational programs in graduate and continuing education with expertise and facilities for training.

Webinars

Recordings for past webinars can be found on the IBioNe website. Most recent webinars include presentations by Jonathan Bones from the National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) and Nicole Borth from the Austrian Center of Industrial Biotechnology (ACIB).
