From lab curiosity to commercial reality. Here's what happens when moss meets the brutal economics of bioprocessing.

In Part 1, you've heard the science behind moss-based protein production. Now comes the real test: Can it survive the gauntlet of regulatory scrutiny, cost pressures, and manufacturing scale-up that crushes most biotech innovations?

In Part 2 of this groundbreaking conversation, David Brühlmann and Andreas Schaaf, Managing Director and CSO of Eleva, dive into the nuts and bolts of what it actually takes to commercialize a revolutionary production platform. Andreas doesn't just theorize—he's lived through 15+ years of transforming Eleva from startup concept to clinical-stage reality, navigating every regulatory hurdle and economic challenge along the way.

Three game-changing advantages that caught our attention:

  • Process Robustness That Actually Works: While CHO cells throw tantrums over minor parameter shifts, moss maintains consistent product quality even when your bioprocess isn't behaving perfectly; a lifeline for manufacturing teams dealing with real-world variability.
  • Economics That Make CFOs Smile: Forget expensive viral filtration steps and costly human pathogen testing. Moss's plant heritage eliminates these animal-system burdens, directly impacting your bottom line in ways that matter.
  • Operational Simplicity: Variability in process ingredients and streamlined cell banking contribute to long-term cost and operational efficiencies that compound over time.

Andreas shares hard-won insights about what it really takes to challenge entrenched bioprocessing orthodoxy, including the regulatory conversations, the economic realities, and his advice for scientists brave enough to pursue game-changing innovations.

Ready to understand how disruptive biotechnology actually makes it from bench to bedside?
