In Episode 3 of our vodcast series #Bioconversations: Demystifying Science, we continue our journey through the world of biologics — moving from growing cells to purifying the proteins they produce. Join us in this conversation along with our host Dr.Kavita Rao in conversation with Anirudh Vasudevan, Downstream Function Lead, R&D at Biocon Biologics, as they demystify the critical steps of Downstream Processing — the science of purifying biologics. Downstream Processing is one of the most crucial phases in biologics development ; the step that ensures each protein is clean, safe, and ready before it can reaches the patient. Explore how purification transforms raw potential into powerful treatments that touch lives
