Project description
Third-cycle subject: biotechnology
A call for 11 PhD positions (Early Stage Researchers [ESRs]) is open within the context of the recently granted European Industrial Doctorate project STACCATO - European Industrial Doctorate for enhancing upstream biopharmaceutical manufacturing process development through single cell analysis. STACCATO has been specifically designed to strengthen Europe’s innovation capacity and leadership in biopharmaceutical manufacturing science by providing world-class intersectoral training to 11 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) and creating and applying pioneering manufacturing process development approaches for biopharmaceuticals. All recruited researchers will spend at least 18 months of their time at industry partners. The successful candidates will profit of an international scientific network of high profile industry and academic partners. All fellows will benefit from intersectorial secondments, individual and networkwide training modules, including transferable skills courses. For further information please go to www.staccato-eid.eu. High cell density perfusion culture has been identified as a highly potential tool for process intensification for the production of biologics.
In this frame, it is very important to get a better understanding of high cell density perfusion cultures and provide new tools for the development of such processes. In particular, the project will aim at creating methods to design the culture medium used for high cell density perfusion process based on mathematical modelling integrating knowledge of single-cell omics. The group of Cell Technology (CETEG) in the Dept. Industrial Biotechnology - CBH School at KTH, has a strong experience in the development of biopharmaceutical drug bioprocesses for human therapy. The group is leading AdBIOPRO, Competence Centre for Advanced Bioproduction by Continuous Processing, and iConsensus, an EU-IMI project aimed among others at developing on-line/in-line sensing environment of cell culture.
