Tecan and the Monash Antibody Technologies Facility unveil custom monoclonal antibody production facility
Michael Spiegel, deputy director of MATF, said: “In just one year, and with Tecan’s support, we have renovated a whole new space, brought in state-of-the-art, fully automated systems and have them already producing antibodies. This is now the largest capacity and probably the most sophisticated and technologically advanced custom antibody facility in the world. We already have 50 academic projects in the pipeline and we are members of the structural genomic consortium, an international pilot project for creating binding agents to all human proteins and protein binders.“
