Process Intensification in AAV Gene Therapy
2022-11-14 14:30 - 15:30 | ONLINE, Ontario, Canada
Please join our masterclass panel of experts to discuss process intensification in AAV Gene Therapy.
Demand for AAV vectors is rising with more than 550 adeno associated viral vector therapies being developed for the treatment of various disorders. As numerous biotech companies are planning to introduce these transformative gene therapies, they find themselves struggling to access financially viable AAV manufacturing yields.
In this webinar Sarah Wootton, Ph.D., (University of Guelph), Amine Kamen, Ph.D., and Jean-Simon Diallo, Ph.D. will explore current and new strategies for optimising the upstream AAV vector production process, a vital first step towards advancing gene therapies to meet clinical and commercial yields.
Tune into this free webinar to learn about:

AAV biology and its use in cell and gene therapies
State-of-the-art production of cell and gene therapies
Current process intensification methods: cell line and vector engineering, media optimization, and bioreactor design to increase yields
New strategies to properly attenuate anti-viral defences in the production system: viral sensitizer technology.

Imagining a More Just University

How can we create more just academic spaces that eliminate barriers to access and ensure equity for everyone in the University community?

Creating more just academic spaces has long been a critical topic, but feels increasingly pressing as we navigate several overlapping injustices structured by the pandemic, systemic racism and colonialism, (hetero)sexism, ableism and economic inequality, among others.
Drawing on expertise local to the University of Guelph and the surrounding communities, this event will both illuminate specific challenges, and imagine and discuss promising practices moving forward. Panelists will include:

Dr. Adam Davies (they/them), Family Relations and Applied Nutrition
Dr. Roberta Hawkins (she/her), Geography, Environment and Geomatics
Omorowa Eguakun (she/they), Ontario Public Interest Research Group – Guelph
Jena-Lee Ashley (she/her), Vice President External, Central Student Association
Nicole Walker (she/her), President, Central Student Association
