BioProcess International 2026 – Rewriting Bioprocessing with Synthetic Affinity Ligands
October 12, 2026
In this presentation from BioProcess International 2026, Alex Shephard, Tozaro’s Head of Product, explores how Smart Polymer™ technology can address some of the key challenges in viral vector downstream processing.
Discover how Tozaro’s computationally designed synthetic affinity ligands offer a new approach to purification, combining target specificity and tunable binding affinity with the potential for higher functional recovery and more efficient workflows. The presentation shares proof-of-concept data from both lentiviral and AAV purification, highlighting the potential of Smart Polymers™ as an alternative to conventional purification methods.
In this presentation you can see:
- How Smart Polymers™ are designed, synthesised and optimised for specific purification applications.
- Comparative data on Smart PolymerTM performance against anion exchange chromatography.
- Proof-of-concept results demonstrating AAV purification using Smart Polymer™ affinity ligands.
- The potential for synthetic affinity ligands to improve recovery, reduce impurities and simplify viral vector manufacturing.
