We hope to continue our involvement and support this great initiative to reach the goal of creating sustainable manufacturing of future targeted biotherapeutics.
Albumedix Chief Scientific Officer, Darrell Sleep comments: “We have had many years involvement with UCL and joining this industrial/academic collaboration allows Albumedix to collaborate with leading academic centres and international biopharmaceutical companies working in the field of Targeted Biological Medicine Biomanufacturing. Without significant improvements in manufacturing and supply the potential of targeted medicines may not be fully realised. The in-depth knowledge and understanding of our unique products built up over the past 30 years offers potential solutions to the challenges faced by many of those seeking to develop these medicines. We are looking forward to this exciting opportunity”.
