Master Thesis in Process Science USP: High Cell Density Intermediates and N-1 Perfusion (m/w/d)
Topical background and tasks
The development of high cell density (HCD) process intermediates, to significantly shorten and de-risk the cell expansion, and N-1 perfusion enabled intensified fed-batch processes with an immense potential for streamlining and optimizing biomanufacturing processes. This thesis aims to investigate the implementation of HCD process intermediates and N-1 perfusion strategies to establish an intensified fed-batch processes for the production of therapeutic proteins.
