Here's a photo from our fun field trip to Genzyme on
Monday 3/17/2014!
Thomas Vermette (left in photo) is the wonderful SSU
BIO alum ('91) that hosted us for an awesome tour of Genzyme's
Allston plant! He taught us a lot of science in this one trip---
details about recombinant protein expression of Cerezyme in
Chinese-Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell Bioreactors, secretion signals, His-Tags,
serum-free media, ion-exchange protein purification, and FDA-mandated
Good Manufacturing Procedures (GMP). We are excited that Tom has tentatively agreed to
come as a visiting speaker for a few lectures on GMP within our Fall
2014 (new) Biotechnology course!
Special, special thanks to Kaitlyn Hurley and
Angelique Kim of Career Services (not shown) for co-organizing this trip. And thank-you's for expert van driving by Longinus
and Jebson.
Dr. Tracy Ware
