Contract Training: Hands-on cGMP Biomanufacturing of Vectors for Gene Therapy

Receive hands-on training in the production of vectors for gene therapy products using an AAV2-GFP model system in a Sf9/Baculovirus system. Engage in upstream operations (suspension cell culture, vector production scale-up in single-use bioreactors); downstream operations (cell lysis, product recovery via depth filtration, purification using chromatography, and ultrafiltration for concentration and buffer exchange); and analytical technologies, as well as discuss strategies and issues around scale-up, tech transfer, and adherent vs. suspension cultures.
