Hennigsdorf, Germany: UGA Biopharma GmbH, the leading-edge contract research and development organization (CRDO) for biologics and biosimilars, will return to the annual BIO-Europe Spring® biotech industry partnering conference, hosted in virtual format for 2021.

UGA Biopharma, which has a long relationship with the BIO-Europe conference, will use this year’s digital edition to connect with potential customers for its high speed cell line development platform and ready-to-use biosimilar cell lines.

First CHOice

The UGA Biopharma team, led by Business Development & Marketing Manager, Dr. Marcel Nowak, will be emphasizing the efficacy of its proprietary high performance First CHOice® Media and Feeds in promoting high titer yields, high product quality and cell viability.

The First CHOice® Medium is a cell culture medium optimized for CHO mammalian cell lines. In combination with CHOice® Feeds it has been optimized to boost the cell growth and productivity in batch, fed-batch and perfusion processes.

The completely chemically defined, animal component and protein free First CHOice® Medium has been developed in close cooperation with customers using CHO-S, CHO-DG44 and CHO-K1 cell lines in order to minimize stress-related metabolites such as lactate and ammonia.

Fast track cell line development

The team will be able to demonstrate product capabilities using the event’s partneringONE® virtual meeting platform.

UGA will also present its tailor made high speed cell line development platform that combines proven optimized high-yield expression vectors and proprietary CHO-DG44 cells with a highly integrated scheme of work packages, use of high-performance media and bioprocess development to achieve very compressed timelines for biologics and biosimilars.
