A key factor in reducing the production costs of biopharmaceuticals is the development of cell lines that produce a high yield of product with the desired critical quality attributes. Selecting the right cell line early in the production process enables significant time and cost savings in later stages of development. The National Biopharma Mission supports development of such cell lines (E. coli based systems) and eukaryotic (CHO based systems) as a platform technology for Indian companies on negotiable licensing/ royalty terms.
