Corning Cell Culture Scale-Up Workshop

The Corning 2026 Cell Culture Scale-Up Workshop hosted at BioLabs is your opportunity to: 

  • Explore different Corning bioprocess platforms for scaling-up cell culture, from R&D to production.
  • Gain hands-on experience on the Corning bioprocess vessels. 
  • Learn best practices and tips when manipulating Corning’s cell culture vessels.
  • Meet our Field Application Scientist team to exchange technical and scientific insights on your projects and processes.
  • Learn how to scale-up, scale-out, and reduce contamination risk by integrating a closed system approach.
  • Meet your peers from academia, pharma, and biotech.

Speakers

Robin Burk, Ph.D.

Field Application Scientist
Corning Life Sciences
 

Overview of Scaling Up Considerations and Solutions
 

Robin was trained as a molecular biologist in Heidelberg, Germany, where he also received his Ph.D. in virology. After roles in environmental protection and SARS Cov-2 diagnostics project manager, he became a Field Application Scientist, first for Next-Generation Sequencing and Forensics and, since 2023, for Bioprocess at Corning.
