Exploring scalable, data-driven AAV manufacturing to achieve high yield and quality across serotypes

Live30 webinars are thirty-minute presentations designed to update you on the latest innovations, applications, and data in a fast yet interactive format.

Attend this webinar to learn about real-world case studies using data-driven selection criteria for plasmid vectors, cell lines, and media, in order to optimize upstream processes and achieve higher yield and quality across different AAV serotypes.

Attendees will gain insights into optimizing the entire AAV process, including data on: 

  • A transfection system that has demonstrated scalability and consistency, achieving over 7.0E16 GC AAV8 in a 50L SUB bioreactor, with a high yield of >1.6E15 VG/L for AAV8 production 
  • Engineered pRep2/CapX packaging plasmids for improved yields and quality for both natural and synthetic serotypes 
  • DOE-based transfection optimization to increase titer yields by up to 70-fold 
  • Robust, scalable downstream processes that include clarification, TTF, affinity chromatography, and anion-exchange chromatography for full capsid enrichment 
  •  Approaches for scalable rAAV manufacturing strategies from benchtop (<10L) to pilot (50L) scale

Attend this webinar to:

  • Learn about an optimized AAV process development framework: leverage a structured DOE-based transfection optimization approach to enhance viral vector production efficiency and reproducibility
  • Understand the advantages of data-driven plasmid and serotype selection: data-driven selection criteria for plasmid vectors, cell lines, and media allows for optimization of upstream processes for higher yield and quality across different AAV serotypes 
  • Stay ahead of trends: understanding the latest advancements in AAV platform development – including engineered packaging plasmids that improve yields and quality across various serotypes – is critical to remaining competitive in the evolving gene therapy landscape
