Novel biosensors and microsystems for improving process development and process analytics
Contemporary process analytical technologies (PATs) for biomanufacturing are available for continuously monitoring a small set of analytical targets or are limited by costly and time-consuming offline efforts. With the prime focus of the biopharmaceutical industry crystallizing around monoclonal antibodies and cell/gene therapies and the need for nimble, efficient production platforms, it is more relevant than ever to create scalable, in-line, and high throughput quantification methods. Learn about the AIM-Bio research that is underway at NC State in the lab of Dr. Michael Daniele, associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
