It has shown some unique advantages in curing certain diseases. There is a growing demand of high quality viral medicines to be manufactured with efficient and cost-effective methods. This Research Project proposes a highly efficient chromatography bead technology to elegantly remove host-cell-based impurities and virus-related impurities to obtain high quality viral materials at processing scale.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
