Half-day virtual event from Cytiva: How biotech startups and translational researchers can prepare to bring innovative treatments to patients

Cytiva has invited several noteworthy colleagues from our industry to share their experience in an intimate online forum.

Join guests from THT Biomaterials (Vienna, AT), Charité (Berlin, DE), Prime Vector Technologies (Tübingen, DE), and a few Cytiva mentors who will discuss the challenges, triumphs, and key considerations for the development and delivery of novel therapies to patients.

In this virtual half-day forum, Cytiva invites industry leaders to share their experiences with overcoming obstacles and bringing novel therapies to patients. Join for guidance on what to expect on the translational journey along with how to avoid common pitfalls as you get started.
 
The program will be presented in two sessions with a 20-minute intermission. It will end with a roundtable discussion where you will have the chance to ask the experts your questions on how best to bridge basic research and clinical trials

When: Tuesday, 18 Oct, from 14:00 – 18:00 pm

More details: registration page - sign up and participate.

Even if your schedule conflicts, you are encouraged to register, as you will be sent a recording after the event.

Our revolutionary technology combines biology, computing and automation, allowing for fast and precise high throughput production of long DNA. Synthetic biology taken to the next level.

  VALIDOGEN - Pichia pastoris Protein Expression Excellence

VALIDOGEN, formerly known as VTU Technology, is a leading Austrian contract research and development company. VALIDOGEN offers UNLOCK PICHIA - the broadest toolbox and most versatile technology platform available for Pichia pastoris recombinant peptide/protein production. VALIDOGEN develops high performance expression strains and economically viable protein production processes for the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals, enzymes and various other recombinant proteins. Founded in 2008, the company emerged to a globally recognized player in the field of Pichia pastoris based protein expression.

  DirectSens was founded in 2013 as a BOKU Spinoff to convert scientific results into next generation biosensor solutions for the detection of carbohydrates. Since then, multiple products have been introduced to the market: The LactoSens has become the gold standard in Lactose testing, which is vital to the dairy industry. For the medical diagnostic field, continuous measurement systems detecting Glucose and Lactate are currently developed in collaboration with national and international partners. The fundamentally new architecture along with the flexibility of the technology enables DirectSens to provide its customers with reliable solutions for a wide range of applications.                            

     The Doctoral School in Microbiology and Ecosystem Science is a doctoral program that is unique in offering interdisciplinary training at the interfaces of microbiology, ecology, and environmental geosciences to address current challenges in the 21st century society, including the role of microbiomes, adaptation and resistance mechanisms, biogeochemistry, pollutant dynamics and nutrient fluxes in global change and for human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Our students are trained in the interdisciplinary environment at the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science, which includes molecular microbiology, evolutionary and computational biology, and environmental sciences. Students have access to high-level infrastructure to study microbes, microbe-host interactions, and environmental processes at the forefront of fundamental and applied sciences.
