🔦 In today's episode of our Fellow Friday series, we shine a light on Britt Van Ballaer, ATMP Research & Development Architect: “Since 2021, the biolab at Antleron is my habitat where we delve deeper into how the performance of cell cultures is influenced by customized bioreactor conditions. By developing high-quality bioprocess concepts that are digitally tunable and economically viable, we contribute to a scalable, sustainable and personalized healthcare.”

Britt Van Ballaer: “I especially like the combination of hands-on lab work with innovative experimental design and the complementarity between biotech and engineering sciences.” 💉🧬🦠
