[Fierce Webinar] Why high-quality raw materials are vital | Producing therapeutic cardiomyocytes from iPSC stem cells

Date and Time

November 28th 2023, 11.00am ET, USA (60 minutes)

The Event

Commercializing biopharmaceuticals and advanced therapies requires robust, standardized manufacturing processes. Human serum albumin's multifunctionality makes it ubiquitous in biopharma, but variable ligands occupying binding sites lead to inconsistent quality between batches, complicating process reproducibility. Recombumin® recombinant human albumin (rHA) offers an animal-free and consistent alternative that meets regulatory demands and can accelerate therapies toward patient availability. 

In this webinar, Dr Takehiko Kaneko, the Chief Medical Officer of Heartseed, will join Dr Morton, Albumedix’ CTO, to discuss their investigative cardiomyocyte therapies journey from the bench to its current point in phase 1/2 clinical trials.
