We are pleased to announce our research and development project focused on recombinant human serum albumin (rHSA) for applications in advanced therapies and clinical diagnosis.
By harnessing the production capabilities of the yeast Pichia pastoris, the project aims to develop a reproducible and optimized production process for this important protein. Understanding the advantages and limitations of protein expression in this system has been an important part of selecting it as the production platform.
The project focuses on establishing a robust production process that can support the future use of rHSA in biomedical applications, while building process understanding and scalability from the outset. Our work also draws on our experience with the key considerations for large-scale protein manufacturing.
