  Presented By: Matt Mckenna Sr. Field Applications Scientist, Thermo Fisher Scientific Ketil Pedersen Manager & Staff Scientist, Thermo Fisher Scientific Laura Chapman Staff Scientist, Thermo Fisher Scientific Alexander "Sasha" Vlassov Senior Manager R&D at Thermo Fisher Scientific Webinar: Innovations in Vaccine Research and Development Webinar Abstract: Reducing the spread of highly infectious and deadly diseases within the population, vaccine development is crucial in saving millions of lives each year. As a part of the scientific community working on novel vaccines, you are connected to a legacy that began with breakthroughs in the 18th century, and continues to break the boundaries of precision medicine. Join our Thermo Fisher scientists as we give an overview of vaccine platforms and attributes, and discuss new vaccine research and development workflows in relation to SARS-CoV-2. Emphasis will be placed on the tools and workflows enabling rapid progress in va

Presented By: Amanda Suttle Research Scientist - Eppendorf Dr. Ma Sha Head of Bioprocess Applications - Eppendorf Rich Mirro Business Manager - Eppendorf Webinar: Cell Culture Bioprocess Scale-Up Workflow from Bench to Pilot/Production Scale using Single-Use Bioreactors Webinar Abstract: Transferring a biologic candidate from the research and development phase to commercial production usually requires increasing the working volume of the upstream bioprocess. During scale-up, process performance optimized at small scale needs to be reproduced at larger scales, ideally without much need for process optimization at large working volumes. This requires reproducing the quality of the seed culture and the cells’ growth environment across scales. To streamline scale-up, bioengineers commonly use bioreactors with similar geometries at all scales and keep one or more parameters constant between vessels of different sizes, such as kLa, power input per volume or tip speed. Therefore, to design

  Presented By: Prof. Dr. Alexander Scheffold Felix Eppler, PhD Speaker Biography: Prof. Scheffold is the Director of the Institute of Immunology at the Universitätsklinikum, Schleswig-Holstein, and the Christian-Albrechts-University, Kiel, Germany. Prior to this, he led the Cellular Immunology Group at the Clinic for Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology of the Charité-Universitätsmedizin, Berlin, and at the German Rheumatism Research Center (DRFZ) Berlin, Germany. He obtained his PhD in Immunology at the University of Cologne in 1997. As a global product manager, Felix is responsible for the development of applications, new protocols, and products for the MACSQuant® Tyto® Cell Sorter from Miltenyi Biotec. Before joining Miltenyi Biotec in 2018, Felix worked as a research associate at the LIMES Institute, University of Bonn, Germany, with a strong focus on Molecular Immunology and Cell Biology. He obtained his PhD in Molecular Biomedicine from the University in Bonn in 2017. Webinar:
