Science Commune is a segment of The Chain that goes beyond the science and explores the people making discoveries. We discuss their career paths, passions, and the people who inspired them along the way. Join Daniel Chen as he speaks with Teemu Junttila of Genentech about how his childhood in Finland inspired his work today with bispecific antibodies targeting solid tumors. 

Bjørn Voldborg of the Technical University of Denmark speaks to CHI on July 18, 2019. He will be speaking during the Optimising Expression Platforms meeting at PEGS Europe, 18-22 November, in Lisbon, Portugal.

Topics include the impact of big data on cell line engineering, his team’s success in producing Alpha-1 antitrypsin, the appeal of applied science and  more.

The Chain is a new podcast all about protein engineering and exploring the industry of biologics. We will learn from the experts what is new in the field and where it is heading. We will also be learning more about the people behind the papers, go into how they got to where they are today, and what inspires their work. We hope you’ll tune in to learn more about the science and minds that are changing the world one experiment at a time.
