Startup aims to rapidly mass manufacture antibodies that could be deployed to treat Covid-19 patients
A biomanufacturing company spun out of the DLRG is seeking to rapidly translate an antibody therapy against COVID-19 by using cell-free biotechnology based on glycoengineered bacteria.

Lewis Professor of Engineering in the Robert F. Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and his longtime collaborator, Michael Jewett, a professor of chemical and biological engineering at Northwestern University.
