Protein Expression & Production

Protein expression may not always get the spotlight — it’s often seen as the hurdle to clear before the “real science” can begin. But in reality, it’s one of the most critical and complex steps in discovery research, diagnostics, and therapy. It can be time-consuming, technically challenging, and underappreciated — yet its impact is foundational. This year’s Protein Expression pipeline embraces that reality and aims to shift the narrative. We’ll explore how to make protein production faster, more reliable, and ultimately robust and resource efficient. From host system optimization to recombinant protein production strategies and therapeutic-grade workflows, join us to tackle the bottlenecks and celebrate the breakthroughs that are reshaping what’s possible in recombinant protein expression.
