UKRI Biomanufacturing - 10101506 FF UB Stem Cell Proj - Utilization of Sustainable Growth Factors for the Automated Manufacture of Cellular Therapeutics
FY 2023-24 · 2024-03-01
Summary
In this project, Future Fields (FF) will use cutting-edge genome editing techniques to engineer Drosophila melanogaster, where the stable stocks will be used to produce high functioning humanized growth factors required for our UK counterpart, Unicorn Biotechnologies (UB). UB will use these high functioning proteins within their novel automated and continuous cell passaging and scale-up system.

Description (French)
Dans ce projet, Future Fields (FF) utilisera des techniques de modification du génome de pointe pour créer des Drosophila melanogaster, dont les stocks stables seront utilisés pour produire des facteurs de croissance humanisés à haut rendement nécessaires à notre homologue britannique, Unicorn Biotechnologies (UB). UB utilisera ces protéines à haut rendement dans son nouveau système automatisé et continu de passage et de mise à l’échelle des cellules.
