GE Healthcare Life Sciences recently launched a joint program with Osaka University to support future growth of the biopharmaceutical sector in Japan. Together, they offer students access to GE Healthcare’s expertise in training and technologies for bioprocess research and manufacturing. The program is funded by Osaka University as part of its “Interdisciplinary Program for Biomedical Sciences” (IPBS), a government-funded commitment to graduate education. The goal of IPBS is to educate young scientists to undertake global-scale collaborations to develop effective treatments…

Microcarrier-Based Cell Culture in the XDR Single-Use Stirred-Tank Bioreactor
Xcellerex’s XDRbioreactors are well suited for production processes that require the use of anchorage-dependent cell lines grown on microcarriers. The bioreactor agitation assembly is the driver for these factors. To assure robust bioreactor operation, the M40Eimpeller was designed to perform well above the minimal mixing constraint for uniform gas distribution and fluid homogeneity and well below the maximum shear constraint to assure a viable and productive cell population. Cell lines such as Vero, MDCK, and…
