Research at CeBiotech
The scientific domains feed every venture from engineering a molecule and designing an antigen to producing a diagnostic kit, running surveillance and testing a candidate in animals.
Research themes
Protein expression & purification
- Bacterial (E. coli) and mammalian expression systems
- IPTG-induced expression, cell lysis, wash and elution
- Affinity-chromatography purification and quality control
Antibody production
- Hybridoma generation for monoclonal antibodies (myeloma + plasma B-cell fusion)
- Polyclonal antibodies raised in immunised host animals
- Enzyme conjugation to produce labelled secondary antibodies
Assay development
- Indirect and sandwich ELISA optimisation
- RDT cassette assembly and lateral-flow strip coating
- Clinical validation against PCR-positive and seronegative panels
Pre-clinical testing
- Immunogenicity, toxicity and safety studies
- Challenge experiments and knock-out models
- Drug-efficacy consultancy for external partners
Biosafety & biorisk management
- Safe handling of priority pathogens and recombinant material
- Containment-aware workflows and standard operating procedures
- Training in biosafety, biosecurity and responsible science
Research into ventures
Capability only matters when it ships. Each domain feeds a working venture.
