SIRION Biotech presenting advanced viral vectors and BOOSTER technology at ELRIG Drug Discovery ’16

Martinsried, Germany: – Viral technology specialist SIRION Biotech will be returning to ELRIG for its 10th Anniversary Drug Discovery (ELRIG-DD16) conference in Liverpool, UK (October 13th-14th).

The company will be posting its latest insights and advances on its LV, AAV and AV viral vector technologies along with presentations on its advanced vector engineering platform VariCHECK, optimized and re-targeted viral vectors for cell-based therapy as well as research- and clinical grade transduction enhancer LentiBOOSTTM to efficiently transduce primary and hard to target cells.

SIRION’s team will include Dr. Franziska Ruf, Key Accounts Manager for Europe and Dr. Cristina-Ileana Ureche, newly appointed Key Account Manager for Asia.

SIRION is inviting all ELRIG-DD16 delegates to contact the company and set up face-to-face meetings with Dr. Ruf or Dr. Ureche during the conference in Liverpool, UK.

Dr. Franziska Ruf, who will present the poster on VariCHECK, commented:

“Why do I care about viral vectors? Simply because engineered viral vectors are not only perfect tools for functional gene analyses and target research but also transform our understanding of disease, becoming new innovative medicines. ”

“SIRION has been a participant at the ELRIG Drug Discovery conferences for several years now. This is an excellent platform to share our knowledge with fellow scientists and company representatives working in cell based research areas like early drug discovery, gene/cell-based therapy and regenerative medicine ,” said Dr. Ruf.

“We’ll be able to show how in gene therapy we are now achieving the highest LV and AAV T-cell transduction rates on the market and how we are using leading vector engineering and capsid optimization to increase tissue specificity and improve immunogenic profile,” added Dr. Cristina-Ileana Ureche.
