项目摘要

Advances in technologies for the purification of therapeutic protein products are needed. Current technologies can represent up to 80% of the total manufacturing costs. Alternative protein purification processes should be able to deliver high purity products at affordable costs. The long term objective of this research program is to develop selective and cost efficient protein purification processes. Promising purification process alternatives consist of membrane chromatography materials which offer high selectivity and throughput by engineering their structure and developing materials responsive to processing conditions. Efficient membrane chromatography purification processes will be obtained by extensive characterization of the material properties and by correlating these material properties to specific characteristics of therapeutic proteins. Our work will extend beyond the traditional experimental approach by incorporating novel mathematical models that will capture the dynamic nature of the materials. We will also develop novel protein purification membrane materials based on environmentally friendly processes. Sophisticated material characterization techniques will be employed to obtain microscopic and transient characteristics of the purification process. Long term impact of these alternative protein purification processes will eventually convert to high quality therapeutic protein products being available to the Canadian populations such as for cancer diagnostics and treatments. This program will provide training to twenty four (24) highly qualified personnel (HQP) who will develop and gain hands-on skills in protein and material characterization, protein purification process development as well as data analysis and mathematical tools. In addition to these skills, HQP will acquire strong communication and training skills, will be exposed to multi-disciplinary and collaborative research environment and benefit from international expertise in protein expression and state-of-the art facilities. Trained HQP will be strategically positioned to join the industrial or academic sector and become leading experts in protein purification operations and material development.

需要在用于纯化治疗性蛋白质产品的技术方面取得进展。目前的技术可以占总制造成本的80%。替代的蛋白质纯化工艺应该能够以可承受的成本提供高纯度的产品。该研究计划的长期目标是开发选择性和成本效益的蛋白质纯化工艺。有前途的纯化工艺替代品包括膜色谱材料，这些材料通过设计其结构和开发对加工条件有响应的材料来提供高选择性和通量。有效的膜色谱纯化方法将通过材料性质的广泛表征和通过将这些材料性质与治疗性蛋白质的特定特征相关联来获得。我们的工作将超越传统的实验方法，结合新的数学模型，将捕捉材料的动态性质。我们还将开发基于环保工艺的新型蛋白质纯化膜材料。将采用先进的材料表征技术来获得纯化过程的微观和瞬态特性。这些替代蛋白质纯化工艺的长期影响将最终转化为加拿大人口可用的高质量治疗性蛋白质产品，例如用于癌症诊断和治疗。该计划将为二十四（24）名高素质人员（HQP）提供培训，他们将开发并获得蛋白质和材料表征，蛋白质纯化工艺开发以及数据分析和数学工具方面的实践技能。除了这些技能外，HQP还将获得强大的沟通和培训技能，将接触多学科和协作研究环境，并受益于蛋白质表达和最先进设施的国际专业知识。经过培训的HQP将被战略性地定位为加入工业或学术部门，并成为蛋白质纯化操作和材料开发方面的领先专家。
