Gene Therapy is the transfer of genetic material (gene transfer) to dysfunctional cells to correct a deficiency in the DNA or genome of a patient. Cell Therapy, such as stem cell therapy, can also be used to achieve these goals. These approaches can be applied to genetic disorders as well as diseases acquired over the lifetime of an individual, such as cancer or infection, to confer a specific property to the cell allowing it to combat the disease.

TAP Biosystems Announce New Webinar Programme on Applications of Micro Bioreactors

Specialists at Cobra Biologics and TAP Discuss Advances in Bioprocess Development

Amber TAP BiosystemsCambridge, UK: TAP Biosystems, a leading supplier of innovative cell culture systems and consumables for life science applications, today announced that it will be running the first of its new webinar programme on Thursday June 14th, offering free access to scientific  presentations on its innovative micro scale bioreactor, ambr™. 

Two Bioprocess experts, Ulrica Skoging-Nyberg, Delivery Team Leader, from Cobra Biologics and Dr Barney Zoro, Product Manager, from TAP Biosystems will be presenting data on the application of the ambr system and its potential in bioprocess development at two, live webinars on Thursday June 14th at 11am GMT and 5pm GMT. To join the webinars, scientists simply need to register at: www.tapbiosystems.com/ambr_webinar/ambrwebinar_invite.htm

 

During the webinars, Dr Zoro will be discussing the applications of the ambr system, in particular its effectiveness in CHO cell culture applications such as clone screening, process optimisation and design of experiments.  He will also be presenting published field data using ambr, which validates ambr as a true scale-down model. 

Skoging-Nyberg will explain how Cobra Biologics has implemented a disposable, automated and fully traceable workflow for their high throughput maxXpress cell line development platform. She will be discussing how ambr is being used to speed up Cobra’s process development by transferring clones from TAP’s Cello System to ambr and then into single use bioreactors.  

Dr Barney Zoro, ambr Product Manager at TAP Biosystems stated: "We are delighted to be hosting a webinar with Cobra Biologics as it will allow ambr users and researchers evaluating micro-scale bioreactors to discover how their work could benefit from using this technology. We look forward to discussing how ambr can improve the efficiency of clone selection and scalable process development with scientists that join us for these informative webinars on June 14th.”
