Bioprocessing and Quality-by-Design Platforms for Cell-, Gene- and EV-Based ATMPs
Research Manager at Institute for Bioengineering and Biosciences
Lisboa, Portugal
About
What we aim to do
Strengthen cell-, gene- and extracellular-vesicle-based ATMP development and deployment by integrating advanced biological platforms with robust bioprocessing, quality-by-design and frameworks.
What we can contribute
-
Upstream and downstream bioprocess development for stem and immune cells (HSPC, MSC, NK) and extracellular vesicles
-
Quality-by-design approaches, including CQAs, CPPs, quality control strategies and functional potency assays
-
DNA- and RNA-based downstream analytics supporting identity, purity, stability and comparability assessments
-
Assessment of robustness, cryopreservation and transport informing ATMP manufacturing and logistics
-
Precision gene and epigenetic editing combined with patient-derived iPSC and organoid models to analyse biological variability, stability and durability
Partners we are looking for
ATMP developers, GMP manufacturers and CDMOs, clinical translation partners, regulatory science groups and ATMP-focused research infrastructures.
