This topic aims at supporting activities that are enabling or contributing to one or several expected impacts of destination "Maintaining an innovative, sustainable, and competitive EU health industry". To that end, proposals under this topic should aim to deliver results that are directed at, tailored towards and contributing to all the following expected outcomes: • Biopharmaceutical industries get access to streamlined development and production processes for peptide- or…

Cell-Free Protein Synthesis (CFPS) has been employed in fundamental biological research for decades, however, interest for the approach as a viable means for drug development and production has only emerged in recent years. The advantages that CFPS provides in terms of efficiency, simplicity, flexibility, cost- and time savings outweigh the hurdles that are still to be overcome for CFPS to become a routine manufacturing system for peptide- or protein-based…
