How Challenges in Biologics Development Catalyze Innovations in Cell Line Development
The development of robust and high-performing cell lines remains a central challenge in modern biopharmaceutical production of complex biologics. Early developability assessment plays a critical role, allowing teams to identify optimal pools before picking the final candidate and entering full cell line development.
In this webinar, Simon Fischer, Head of Cell Biology and Senior Principal Scientist at Boehringer Ingelheim, presents a comprehensive approach to overcoming 3 common challenges through the systematic integration of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies across the cell line development workflow:
- Which clones exhibit mutations on messenger RNA of therapeutic transgenes?
- How to accurately identify the genomic positions of all vector integrations?
- Which of my thousands of clones express the correctly assembled molecule?
The presentation highlights how NGS replaces legacy analytical methods such as Sanger sequencing, Southern blotting, and qPCR, offering significantly improved resolution, sensitivity, and turnaround times. These efforts were underpinned by the implementation of Genedata Selector®, which provided the foundation for standardized workflows, robust data integration, and efficient analysis across the NGS pipeline.
