Taking control of glycosylation – In vitro Glycoengineering
Thursday, April 14, 2016, 11:00am EST
Overview and Session Highlights:
Glycosylation has the potential to make or prevent market entry of a drug. Unlike the limited manipulation drug fermentation, in vitro glycoengineering enables the creation of high levels of galactosylation or sialylation to unambiguously select and implement the structure with the best therapeutic and pharmacokinetic profile.
Roland Dorn (Roche Custom Biotech IPM), and Marco Thomann (Roche Pharmaceuticals) will share insights on:
- Criteria to assess applicability of in vitroglycoengineering (IVGE) in development and manufacturing of bio-pharmaceuticals
- Integration of IVGE into the downstream process
- 1-pot reaction: combination of galactosylation and sialylation in one reaction
- Scale-ability of IVGE reaction
- Case studies from Roche Pharma
