Short description of the Assay Development department
The Assay Development Department is responsible for the development and execution of assays for Baculovirus and AAV characterization. The group utilizes molecular and cell biology toolboxes to analyze AAV and Baculoviral vectors and sets up assays for virus characterization. Also, the AD department supports other departments by executing assays on samples generated by other teams within VectorY. These assays are often intrinsically complex including molecular, analytical and cell-based assays, each having their focus and technical specialty. The Assay Development department is also responsible for Assay Qualification and Validation as well as Assay Transfer to QC teams or external partners, as well as for outsourcing samples testing at CROs.
