Capstone Projects

Cell Bank Qualification Stress Test

Program: Applied Biotechnology Master's — Business Management
Host Company: Aldevron

The project was designed to create a stress test for cell banking that would present plasmid instability before a fed batch fermentation. This would save the company millions of dollars in batches lost to plasmid instability.
