What You'll Do Master Thesis Project: Development and Optimization of Analytical Methods for AAV Viral Vectors This master's thesis focuses on the development and optimization of analytical methods for adeno-associated virus (AAV) viral vectors, with a particular emphasis on comparing newly developed methods with existing orthogonal analytical techniques. Within the Viral Vector Application team at the Genomic Medicine OpCo, we are actively developing purification solutions for AAV, plasmids, and other viral vector entities used in both research and manufacturing. These vectors serve as delivery vehicles for DNA in cell and gene therapy applications. Our goal is to support customers by providing purification products that enable the production of high-purity viral vectors suitable for use as final drug substances. To ensure product quality, we utilize a comprehensive toolbox of analytical methods to assess parameters such as purity, concentration, and impurities. Accurate determination of AAV concentration during the purification process is critical. This thesis project will involve hands-on work with analytical instruments and techniques for characterizing AAV.
