From 10th-12st March, Professor Cecília Roque attended the Bioprocessing Summit Europe in Barcelona. Cecília participated in the Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 9th Annual “Advances in Recovery and Purification Part 1: Optimising Downstream Efficacy and Yield” conference stream, as chairperson of the session on “Downstream Processing of Complex Modalities”. During this 2-day event, speakers shared the most recent research in downstream processing, covering a variety of strategies and applications, such as chromatography, digitalization, bispecifics, next-generation resins and many more.
As part of the “Sustainable Approaches to DSP” session Professor Cecília also gave a lecture on “New DSP Materials and Technologies”, Bioseparation is a critical step in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. It employs polymeric adsorbents decorated with affinity ligands to increase the selective capture of target biological products. The EU-funded PURE project aims to develop precisely functionalised adsorbents. The project has brought together an interdisciplinary team of leading scientists from academia and industry with expertise in biology, chemistry, computational modelling, materials science, bioprocess engineering and applied social sciences.
