In a new article in BioPharm International, Kerry Love 🌻, Stacy Martin, and Laura Crowell discuss space-time yield as a critical metric for comparison of upstream biomanufacturing processes and how it can be useful in reducing commercial production costs.  The article demonstrates how to calculate space-time yield using Pichia pastoris (and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells) as model organisms, highlighting the unique differences between fed-batch and perfusion fermentation processes that result in divergent space-time yields. “High space-time yields ultimately result in more protein for less space and time, and therefore lower process and facility investments and production operating costs,” they discussed. “Space-time yield should be considered as a critical metric when assessing process designs to achieve translational, clinical, and commercial manufacturing goals for a given protein product.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/g63u5qQN #continuousfermentation #perfusionbioreactor #biotech #perfusionfermentation

Our Founder, CEO, and President, Kerry Love, recently joined Meg Sinclair on Qualio’s From Lab to Launch podcast to explore the future of biologics and Sunflower’s mission to enhance global vaccine accessibility through cutting-edge protein manufacturing technologies. Kerry highlighted how our modular, automated, and fully integrated platform simplifies the complexities of bioproduction, empowering innovators to develop essential biologic medicines that enhance scalability and improve facility planning and resource management.

"When we think about vaccine and drug development on a global scale, it’s important to note that it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Genetic and regional differences mean that vaccines and drugs must be tailored to effectively meet the unique requirements of various populations," said our Founder, CEO & President, Kerry Love.

Attending BioProcess International 2024 next week? Our very own Kerry Love 🌻 Love will be speaking at the BIG (BioInnovation Group) Executive Summit on September 25. She’ll be discussing the #democratization of protein supply through #accessible biomanufacturing. #democratizebioprocess #proteinmanufacturing #innovation

Today, we celebrate the #5yearanniversary since our operationalization here at Sunflower Therapeutics.🌻 As we look back on this incredible journey, one thing is certain: we would not be where we are today without our remarkable staff. To commemorate our #5yearanniversary since operationalization, our Co-Founder, CEO and President Kerry Love wrote a letter summarizing our journey over the years, highlighting some of our key milestones as a company, and celebrating our champions throughout the years. #companyanniversary #democratizebioprocess #milestones

Manufacturing proteins has long been a complex and costly challenge, but innovation is on the horizon! We’re thrilled to see our work spotlighted in michael dumiak’s recent IAVI report. The report highlights the remarkable progress being made in biotech, and we’re excited to be part of this transformative journey. We’re particularly proud of our Daisy Petal bioreactor, which represents a step forward in continuous, small-batch production. This innovation, along with other breakthroughs mentioned, demonstrates the collective effort to enhance accessibility and affordability in healthcare. Thank you, Michael, for your insightful coverage and for capturing the spirit of innovation and teamwork in this field. Together, we’re making strides toward a healthier, more equitable world. Explore more about these advancements and the amazing work being done across the industry: https://lnkd.in/eYfPtsZJ. #BiotechInnovation #ProteinManufacturing #DaisyPetal #GlobalHealth #BiotechBreakthroughs #HealthEquity

Now that our interns have both wrapped up their work for the summer, we wanted to extend our sincere appreciation to our summer intern Molly Lynch for her hard work and dedication. During her time at Sunflower Therapeutics, Molly focused on media and fermentation development, gaining hands-on experience with different scales and modes of fermentation, from plate and flask to bioreactor, and exploring batch vs. continuous processes. Her contributions and enthusiasm have been greatly valued by our team. Thank you, Molly, for your commitment and for being a part of our innovative team! We have no doubt you’ll achieve great things! #internship #research #teamwork #sciencecareers
