A Royal Society Industry Fellowship has been awarded to Dr Victor Bolanos-Garcia, at Oxford Brookes University, hosted by Oxford Expression Technologies at our new facilities within Oxford Technology Park. This collaboration will focus on using AI technologies to improve how key viral components are produced for vaccine development, addressing a critical challenge in ensuring viral proteins remain fully active after purification. Solving this issue will help OET accelerate th

OET recently participated in the Viruses 2026: New Horizons in Virology conference held in Barcelona. We had an excellent opportunity to engage with numerous professionals and attend insightful presentations, and we look forward to returning in the future. If you were unable to meet us at the conference or wish to learn more about how OET can assist you, please contact us at info@oetltd.com and we would be pleased to connect with you.

On a scale of complexity/difficulty, culturing insect cells falls somewhere between yeast and mammalian systems. They can be grown in suspension or as monolayer cultures. However, the latter format does not require trypsin enzyme treatment prior to harvest and sub culture or passage. Further, the growth medium does not require the use of carbon dioxide to regulate the pH as is the case in many mammalian monolayer cultures. Unlike yeast, insect cells are sensitive to over d
