	Biopharmaceuticals: why use yeasts? The BioTech 2008 & Swiss-Czech Symposium is a follow-up to the successful 2005 event on advances in yeast biotechnology, which attracted many European researchers. This year’s event aims to evaluate the potential of the next-generation of expression systems (in particular, Pichia pastoris, Hansenula polymorpha, Yarrowia lipolytica, Arxula adeninivorans and Schizosaccharomyces pombe) in respect of their applications in the fields of therapeutic proteins, enzymes for the synthesis/modification of pharmaceuticals, drug target proteins, and proteins for diagnostics. The sessions and panel discussions will address the following topics: Molecular biology tools for pathway engineering and custom-designed glycosylation Combined in vivo and in vitro approaches (i.e. interactions of strain design, process control and chemical post-treatment) Further opportunities for advanced yeast expression systems More information at: http://www.biotech2008.ch/about_/scope/ Download: Flyer Biotech2008 (pages) - Flyer BioTech2008

Biopharmaceuticals: why use yeasts?

The BioTech 2008 & Swiss-Czech Symposium is a follow-up to the successful 2005 event on advances in yeast biotechnology, which attracted many European researchers.

The sessions and panel discussions will address the following topics:

Molecular biology tools for pathway engineering and custom-designed glycosylation

Combined in vivo and in vitro approaches (i.e. interactions of strain design, process control and chemical post-treatment)

Further opportunities for advanced yeast expression systems
