Happy #LifeSciences week in Ontario! Over the past two weeks, Cindy Shu and I have had the incredible opportunity to visit Sartorius’s Bioreactor Technologies site in Bohemia, New York. There, we received specialized training from the Cell Culture Technologies team on best practices for operating their state-of-the-art perfusion bioreactors. We are thrilled to bring this training back to McMaster University, which will be the site of Canada's very first automation-focused biomanufacturing research facility - Stay tuned for some exciting developments! Big thanks to Clint Kukla, Charles Prochaska, Anastasia Bizios, and Kanin Sutthasinwong from the Cell Culture Technologies team for hosting us so graciously, and to Brandon Corbett and Chris McCready from the Computational Bioprocessing team for facilitating the visit. Additionally, thank you to BioCanRx for partially funding our visit via their Lab Exchange program. Finally, thank you to everyone at Faculty of Engineering - McMaster University, especially David Latulippe and Prashant Mhaskar, who helped make the trip possible.
