Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 17th Annual

Optimising Expression Platforms   

Employing Cell Factories for the Enhanced Production of Recombinant Proteins 

6 November 2024


The utilisation of recombinant proteins for basic research, target development, clinical diagnostics, and therapy continues to expand. Consequently, the efficient expression and production of these valuable biomolecules face challenges in improving their quantity and quality while minimising time and cost. To meet these demands, an increasing variety of recombinant production platforms called “cell factories” are being developed. Unfortunately, there is no “universal” production system which can guarantee high yields, particularly as every protein itself causes its own issues in terms of expression and production.   

Through case studies, Cambridge Healthtech Institute's 17th Annual Optimising Expression Platforms conference offers comparisons, evaluations, and solutions that enable protein expression researchers to efficiently express the recombinant protein of their choice.  

Coverage will include, but is not limited to:

  • Biotherapeutics
    • Recombinant Proteins
    • Antibodies
    • Vaccines
    • VLPs
    • Viral Vectors
    • Membrane Proteins
    • mRNA
    • Difficult-to-Express Proteins
  • Cell Factories
    • Mammalian (CHO, HEK293,NSO)
    • Insect (Baculovirus, Drosophila)
    • Bacterial (Escherichia coli)
    • Yeast (Pichia pastoris, Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
    • Other (Algae, Tobacco)
  • Matching Host to Protein of Choice
  • Re-Engineering Existing Systems for Better Performance
  • Automation for Higher Throughput
  • Faster Turnaround Time
  • Increasing Speed and Lowering Cost
  • Case Studies 

The deadline for priority consideration is 29 March 2024.

All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
