Eppendorf – Banner
In these exceptional and unprecedented times, many companies and organizations are eagerly working to advance the development of a vaccine in the context of the current COVID-19 crisis.

New bioprocess technologies such as single-use equipment and process automation open up novel possibilities for quality control and validation. This is especially important in GMP regulated environments such as in the development and manufacturing of new influence vaccines. When facing a pandemic outbreak, the need to smoothly develop new processes and quickly scale-up to clinical production volumes is key to efficiently develop new vaccinations.

Eppendorf, your expert partner in bioprocessing, contributes with its bioprocess solutions and services.

New Biotechnology - Diverse human VH antibody fragments with bio-therapeutic properties from the Crescendo Mouse

ISBP2021

Due to CODVID-19, we had to postpone ISBP2020 to 2021. ISBP2021 will focus on microbially synthesized (bio)polymers like polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), cellulose, pullulan, cyanophycin, polylactic acid (PLA), polyisoprenes (rubbers), but is also open for bio-based polymers (e.g. BioPET and PEF), and will include inorganic biopolymers such as polyphosphate (polyP). Biosynthesis, processing, applications, as well as biocompatibility and biodegradability of such materials will be discussed.
