Spearheading synthetic biology based technologies is Professor David James. Mammalian cell culture is one of the basic pillars of life sciences. Without the ability to grow cells in the lab, the fast ...

Ramping up the scale of mammalian cell culture is less straightforward than in bacteria. If the amount of therapeutic protein you can produce becomes a bottleneck, it might be time for a bioreactor.

Of paramount importance is the cell line. The cell culture media is the second factor, and third, the configuration of the bioreactor, including settings such as dissolved oxygen or agitation rate.
