Biocon Biologics Ltd., Bangalore, India
R&D Intern – Cell Culture Lab
Cell culture lab is a laboratory where cell line expressing a target recombinant protein (such as monoclonal antibody) are grown in controlled artificial environment. The upstream cell culture laboratory is pivotal in optimizing cell culture process development for biopharmaceutical production.
I worked as a Research & Development intern in the cell culture laboratory of Biocon Biologics during Summer 2023 as a part of my industrial training that involved developing mammalian cell lines expressing monoclonal antibody IgG1 for carrying out inoculum expansion in shake flask. In addition to that, I am also trained in cell culture techniques for upstream processing of protein production associated with monoclonal antibodies and biosimilars production.
