  • Corning 2025 Cell Culture Upscaling Workshop

Corning 2025 Cell Culture Upscaling Workshop in collaboration with Biotech Training Facility is your opportunity to:

  • Deeply explore different Corning bioprocess platforms for upscaling 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 project and processes.
  • Learn how to scale-up, scale-out, and reduce contamination risk by integrating a closed system approach.
  • Meet your peers from academic, pharma, and biotech.
  • Get a Corning® HYPERFlask® vessel sample to test in your lab.

Speakers

SpeakerBio

Mikael Garcia, Ph.D.

Senior Field Application Scientist, Corning

 

Overview of upscaling considerations and solutions

Mikael has over 16 years of experience in the biomedical research and innovation sector. He earned his PhD in Biology via a CIFRE fellowship, a collaboration between the University of Bordeaux and Cytoo, a biotech company that specializes in creating physiologically relevant cellular models and assays for High Content Screening. After a two-year postdoctoral fellow at IINS in Bordeaux, Mikael moved to Poietis, a biotech firm renowned for developing and manufacturing human tissues using 4D bioprinting. Over the course of six years, he led Industrial and European projects to develop alternative human tissue models via 3D Bioprinting, which included Hair Follicle, Skin, Brain, Pancreas, and more. In 2021, Mikael joined Corning as a Field Application Scientist (FAS), where he concentrates on the company's bioprocess portfolio.
