Dr. Igor Fisch to Present in the Discovery Platform Track
Geneva, Switzerland (PRNEWSWIRE) October 20, 2011 – Selexis SA announced today the Company’s president and CEO, Igor Fisch, PhD, will present, “The next generation designer cell lines as a fully integrated platform for faster clinical development of therapeutic proteins” on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at 10:30 AM at the BIO-Europe 2011 Partnering Conference being held October 31 – November 2, 2011, at the CCD Congress Center in Düsseldorf, Germany. The Company will be also taking part in the pre-scheduled partnering meetings.
Presentation Abstract:
From discovery to manufacturing, successful biologics development requires robust expression systems. For most protein therapeutics, the manufacturing system of choice is Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. For the past 10 years, Selexis has developed patented technology, proprietary CHO-M cell lines and scale-up processes to produce CHO manufacturing cell lines for clients that routinely achieve expression levels of 2-5 g/L. However, even with these technologies, the CHO cell is remains poorly efficient in the production of certain classes of proteins, such as fusion proteins. Selexis has developed new designer CHO cell lines that have been metabolically engineered to overcome the specific expression bottlenecks associated with difficult-to-express proteins. These next generation designer cell lines are powerful tools that can be implemented at the earliest stage of discovery up to the product manufacturing allowing considerable labor and time saving.
