The Importance of a Plant System in Product Development

We love to hear from our listeners. Send us a message.

We kick this conversation off with the writer Elizabeth Gilbert's take on moss, which she so eloquenlty dubs a "resurrection engine." Gilbert almost certianly didn't realize the potential of moss to play a resurrectional role in human health, but Eleva Biotech's Andreas Schaaf and Bjorn Cochlovius do. On this episode of the Business of Biotech, we learn about a company that's developing proteins to fuel its own pipeline — and its partners' — from a most ubiquitous plant that grows virtually everywhere. It grows particularly well in bioreactors outfitted with custom grow lights, and presents some significant advantages over CHO cell line development.
