Live Webinar Series

Product-Specific HCP Profiling of
​​​​​​​Advanced Therapies and Vaccines

About The Webinar Series

Developers of advanced therapies find it challenging to control production processes, including characterization of the Host Cell Proteins (HCPs) and other proteins/enzymes added during the upstream/downstream process. The products are complex, and manufacturing processes are constantly improving. Also, the analytical methods are not as mature as for traditional biologics, and they must be customized since the upstream/downstream processes differ widely between products.

In these live broadcasts, leading cell & gene therapy, phage, and vaccine developers present approaches to the CMC challenges. The focus is analytical methods for characterizing HCPs, residual proteins, viral vector proteins, and other proteins in their complex products.
