For many years, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been used as therapeutics for a wide range of diseases, including various cancers and autoimmune disorders. In production of these biotheraputics, the achievement of multi-gram titers and the emergence of mAb biosimilars have resulted in a more intense focus on mAb product quality consistency, which is essential for therapeutic efficacy.
While selection and establishment of the appropriate cell clone is critical, cell culture media and supplements play a vital role in achieving desired titer and quality. Having an optimal medium can have a significant impact on the bioproduction process.
Learn more about how you can achieve and maintain appropriate mAb protein quality through cell culture media optimization and supplementation during this educational webinar hosted by BD.
Space is limited. Register today for this exciting educational event to learn more about optimizing and maintaining protein quality through optimization of cell culture media and supplementation.
James Brooks, PhD,
R&D Manager
Dr. Peter Schwarz has worked with Donaldson for 10 years and is the Research & Development Manager for the global Process Filtration Division. He studied chemistry at the University Saarbruecken and got his Ph.D. with Columbia University in the City of New York/USA. During that time he won several awards like the Young Chemist Award by the Association of German Chemists or the scholarship by the State of Saarland. Based on his former position as Head of QAU hes familiar with various quality systems like GLP etc. At Donaldson he is responsible for the liquid, steam and sterile air product portfolio.
Dr. Brooks earned his Bachelor's degree in Biology from Carson-Newman University and his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from Wake Forest University. He conducted his post-doctoral research in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Peter C. Doherty, PhD, at St Jude Children's Research Hospital.
