Previous Episode: 18. Quantum biology: going subatomic
The Scandinavians have done it again. In this episode Conor and Dodi are (not really) surprised to find out that, just like chromatography, protein A has also been discovered in the North of Europe. What makes protein A special, though? What about protein G or protein L? Surely protein A is not the most popular because of alphabetical order? This episode's hosts are joined by Josefin Bolik, protein A subject matter expert at Cytiva, Glen Bolton, Director of Bioprocess Development at Amgen, and Jonathan Royce, former colleague of Conor's and Josefin's.
Keywords: protein, protein A, antibodies, monoclonal antibodies, biologic, drug, purification, resin, industrial scale, cancer, chromatography.
