141: How Microalgae Cuts Antibody Costs by 70% and Redefines Biomanufacturing with Muriel Bardor - Part 1

Send us a text

The world of biologics manufacturing is about to be transformed by a breakthrough that slashes antibody production costs by 70%. This revolutionary approach leverages the untapped potential of microalgae to deliver a sustainable, cost-effective solution that could make life-saving therapeutics more accessible than ever before. Enter microalgae, the star of this groundbreaking development.

In this episode of the Smart Biotech Scientist, Muriel Bardor, the co-founder, CEO and CSO of Alga Biologics, shared insights into how her team's pioneering work with microalgae could redefine the landscape of immunotherapy.

Here are some takeaways from her conversation with David Brühlmann:

• Green Revolution in Bioprocessing: Discover how microalgae can slash production costs by 70% and offer a sustainable alternative to traditional antibody manufacturing. Muriel explains how these photosynthetic organisms capture 7 tons of CO2 per kilogram of product - transforming antibody manufacturing both economically and environmentally.
• Rethinking Antibody Production: Learn why the conventional use of mammalian cells in antibody production is being challenged and how microalgae overcome the limitations of traditional methods, bringing life-saving drugs within reach for more people globally.
• Sustainable Impact: With a process that mirrors nature, Muriel’s approach sets a new standard for eco-friendly biotech production. Find out how microalgae are changing not just the industry, but our world.

We invite you to listen to this insightful conversation and explore how you can apply these groundbreaking ideas to your own work. Has Muriel’s innovative approach inspired you? Share your thoughts or questions with us - we'd love to hear from you!
