This webinar discusses key upstream process parameters to consider for efficient and scalable AAV production with a focus on the transfection step.

This webinar will discuss some of the key upstream process parameters to consider for efficient and scalable AAV production with a focus on the transfection step.

Key messages

  • What are the critical upstream parameters for AAV production??
  • What early process considerations are required to ensure success at large scale??
  • What high-throughput technologies can accelerate development timelines and deliver a robust platform??
  • How can innovation drive a fast-changing landscape?

Agenda

  1. What AAV attributes are important to ensure high-yield and high-quality AAV production?
    • Performance and quality attributes: titre, infectivity, E:F, impurities?
    • Cell line/Media importance?
    • Transfection as a critical step: show different approaches are possible and why chemical based is the method of choice?
    • Improvement of AAV production phase: mechanisms to improve titres, lysis vs non lysis and serotype impact.
  2. ?What is Pharmaron’s current approach? ?
    • Platform process and feasibility studies to assess fit (including impact to DSP)?
    • Use of high-throughput technology in combination with DoE to optimise key parameters?
    • Importance of scale-up with a focus on transfection?
    • Pharmaron’s AAV USP platform performance (yield, impurities, infectivity data)?
    • Introduce Polyplus and importance of collaboration?
  3. Collaboration and trial of transfection reagent?
    • Introduction to Polyplus and their products?
    • Presentation of Pharmaron Beta testing data?
    • Presentation of internal Pharmaron data using Polyplus product
