<Lecture>
The global biotherapeutics market size is >100 Billion USD per year and growing. One of the key issues that affects process performance and productivity for biologics/biosimilars manufacturing is cell culture media, in which cell lines grow and produce the therapeutic protein of interest. In this seminar, I will discuss how Ajinomoto Genexine’s high-quality CELLiST media, together with the Korea-based Customer Solutions center, can help you achieve rapid optimization of your biologics, biosimilars and vaccines pipelines. I will also discuss how we use cutting-edge Big Data, metabolic and multi-omics analysis tools, together with AI and machine learning, in order to provide speedy and efficient customer-tailored media and process solutions to our customers.
