A Colorado State University (Fort Collins, CO, www.colostate.edu) research team has developed a novel vaccine to prevent tuberculosis (TB). The vaccine triggers the body’s immunity in a novel way by activating specific immune system functions that enhance the response to the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. Although in preliminary stages of testing, the vaccine would likely be effective against all strains of TB, including multidrug and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. Preliminary evidence shows that the vaccine has promise of working after exposure to TB, which no other vaccine in current development has achieved. The vaccine is designed to be relatively easy to produce. Human trials for the vaccine could occur in two to three years.
Mastering Antibody-Drug Conjugates
December 19th 2024In this episode, we explore BIOVECTRA’s capabilities in antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) manufacturing, from complex conjugation chemistry to synthesis of highly potent payloads. We’ll also showcase how BIOVECTRA’s extensive experience in complex chemistries and specialized small molecule manufacturing gives them a unique perspective, strengthening their approach to ADC production and ensuring clients receive custom solutions across all project stages.
Filter Sizing for Process Optimization in Life Sciences Sterile Filtration
April 24th 2025Bench-scale filterability studies play a critical role in optimizing sterile filtration in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. By guiding the selection and sizing of filters, these studies help streamline processes, improve scalability, and reduce costs. Through data-driven case studies, this paper highlights how the strategic use of pre-filters and membrane materials can maximize throughput and minimize filter fouling.
