Overview
Gene expression in mammalian cells is the foundation for protein production. As more protein-based products head into development, the need to refine processes for optimizing cell line development increases. Reducing the time needed to identify high-expressing clones and develop cell lines is essential for trimming a project’s overall costs.

The “Optimizing Mammalian Cell Lines” meeting features experts sharing their protocols and case studies illustrating how they have optimized cell lines to reach enhanced expression. Their insights and experiences will provide real-world details to help you conquer the challenges of cell line development. As you seek to enhance your skills and knowledge, make time to join the information exchange and networking with colleagues from around the world who share common cellular goals on the path to protein production.

Preliminary Topics:

• Cell line selection & optimization
• Clone selection & optimization
