Mr. Almeida will lead the Manufacturing Department at TAAV. His focus will be to enhance TAAV’s manufacturing capabilities to the next level, particularly its innovative neDNA™ technology. The neDNA™ technology aims to provide clients with solutions to overcome challenges related to current industry solutions. Unlike the common plasmid DNA manufacturing process, neDNA™ is produced without the use of fermenters and bacteria, which results in an enzymatic DNA product with an improved safety profile for the manufacture of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) gene therapy vectors.
TAAV, alongside Sebastián, will be hosting a webinar, here with Phacilitate, discussing overcoming quality and regulatory challenges for the next era of rAAV. Don’t miss it, register now.
