Thanks to some great coworkers from the Love Lab and Cramer Lab (RPI) for getting these across the finish line! @rodz_sergio @kindofabigneil @kochinstitute @MITChemE

[Laura E Crowell @LauraECrowell]

Last two papers from my PhD work are finally out (and #openaccess)! #PhinallyDone #biomanufacturing

[Laura E Crowell @LauraECrowell]

To speed the development of #integrated and #intensified processes for protein production, we propose a method for optimizing buffer conditions used in straight-through #chromatography. https://t.co/8geL0wHhDH

[Neil Dalvie @kindofabigneil]

Our preprint from the Love Lab at @MITChemE is up, describing engineering of the #SARSCoV2 RBD (the receptor binding domain of the spike protein).

Two amino acid changes make the RBD easier to manufacture, more stable, and, surprisingly, more immunogenic.

The ability to accurately predict protein structures from their amino-acid sequence would vastly accelerate efforts to understand the building blocks of cells and enable quicker and more advanced drug discovery. https://t.co/g96yI7Jzv1

Happy #WomensEntrepreneurshipDay!
I am incredibly grateful to be a part of Sunflower Therapeutics, a women-owned and operated small #biotech #startup!

“Pursuing a Covid-19 vaccine has been...a real live-fire test for us.”

The lab of Christopher Love has formed a new consortium to speed up up the drug development pipeline.

Not sure whether to love or hate whoever decided election night should be 3 days after Halloween. I’ll just keep stress eating chocolate....

[Laura E Crowell @LauraECrowell]

@kindofabigneil Then we can take advantage of innovations in manufacturing such as alternative hosts and integrated, continuous bioprocessing,

[Laura E Crowell @LauraECrowell]

We need less expensive methods for manufacturing antibodies and COVID is a perfect example. 👇

#biomanufacturing #globalaccess #Antibodies #COVID

[Laura E Crowell @LauraECrowell]

@kindofabigneil IMO we need to start thinking about affordability and availability earlier in the development process. These should be key criteria during discovery. We must design highly potent, safe, and easy to manufacture candidates.
