Lukas Gerstweiler
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Chemical Engineering and Advanced Materials
Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences
My research concentrates on the production and purification of bacterial derived chimeric virus-like-particles (VLPs) as future vaccine candidates. I am examining several bottlenecks during downstream processing, like aggregation,interaction with host cell DNA and overall process yield. Of special interest are are the use of mixed mode chromatographic materials for advanced process integration, continuous chromatographic processes for protein purification, adsorption kinetics of large molecules on chromatographic resins, model based optimization and upscaling.
