Membrane Chromatography in the Era of Single-Use and Continuous Manufacturing
Intensified and continuous biomanufacturing is a hot topic in the Biopharma industry as it increases productivity and efficiency. With the advent of robust and highly productive CHO cell lines and improved cell culture technology ever larger amounts of mAb and “mAb like†products are being produced which must be processed to high purity with increased efficiencies of time and cost. Sartorius Stedim Biotech is already offering unique technologies for single-use manufacturing, including new next generation process intensification tools for downstream processing (DSP) that have been or will be launched soon.
This webinar will provide an overview of Sartorius Stedim technologies for mAb DSP including soon to be launched process intensification tools. Following the product overview a case study for practical implementation of membrane chromatography in a clinical stage process will be presented by Dr. Greg Papastoitsis, VP of Development and Manufacturing at Compass Therapeutics.
Please register for our webinar to learn more about our platform solution and listen to a practical case study where these technologies have been brought to bear, experiences with new process technologies, and the use of novel Bioprocess Intensification Tools.
Presented by
Dr. Gregory Zarbis-Papastoitsis,
SVP of Process & Manufacturing
Dr. Greg Zarbis-Papastoitsis is the SVP of Process and Manufacturing at Compass Therapeutics. Compass engineers and manufactures antibody combinations utilizing a proprietary platform to treat cancer and other diseases. The company successfully filed its first IND in February 2019 for the treatment of solid tumors, and is currently in Phase 1 clinical studies. Dr. Zarbis-Papastoitsis has a broad industrial experience. As SVP of Process and Manufacturing Sciences at Eleven Biotherapeutics he and his group developed and transferred processes for manufacturing an IL-1 inhibitor, which was in Phase 3 clinical studies for Dry Eye Disease and Allergic Conjunctivitis, and an anti-IL6 antibody (successfully filed an IND), for treating Macular Edema. As Senior Director of Downstream and Analytical Development at PERCIVIA, LLC, he developed platform technologies for proteins produced with the PER.C6® human cell line. As Associate Director of Process and Analytical Development at Syntonix Pharmaceuticals he was responsible for the early clinical development of a long lasting Factor IX (ALPROLIX®). Before that he worked on the commercial process of HUMIRA® (Abbott | Abbvie), and the purification development of IL2-Diptheria Toxin, ONTAK® (Seragen). Dr. Zarbis-Papastoitsis received a Ph.D. in Biology at Binghamton University followed by 3 years of post doctoral studies at Boston University School of Medicine investigating proteases in Alzheimer disease.
