Medicago announces research collaboration with Bayer CropScience
The Proficia(TM) Protein Technology system capitalizes on the inherent advantages of alfalfa plants to efficiently produce proteins, offering biopharmaceutical companies the flexibility and high volume potential of plant-based technology to produce therapeutic human proteins within safe, controlled environments of high-tech greenhouses. Proficia(TM) provides several advantages compared to cell culture and other biological expression systems, including: fast development time-lines and scale-up, contained and controlled manufacturing, consistent product quality, reduced contamination risk, lower production costs, flexibility of timing and reduced capital investments. The efficiency and flexibility of this technology also opens the way for the production of more specialized biotherapeutics which cannot at this time be made in a commercially feasible manner, as well as more cost-efficient production of biopharmaceuticals.
