Ring Therapeutics to Present Opening Keynote Lecture at the 19th International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques (SPICA) Conference

The keynote lecture will highlight recent advancements in manufacturing technologies, including Ring Tx’s groundbreaking AnelloBricks™ platform

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 08, 2024 — Ring Therapeutics, a life sciences company founded by Flagship Pioneering to revolutionize genetic medicines with its commensal virome platform, today announced that its Chief Technology Officer Konstantin Konstantinov, Ph.D., will be delivering the opening keynote lecture at the upcoming International Symposium on Preparative and Industrial Chromatography and Allied Techniques (SPICA) conference taking place from October 15 – 18, 2024, in Milan, Italy.

The lecture, titled, “Integration of Biology and Engineering to Enable Industrialization of Complex Biotherapeutics,” will highlight the latest breakthroughs that combine next generation biological and engineering advancements that can scale up manufacturing of complex therapeutics to address urgent health needs.

“With technology advancing at an unprecedented pace, the drug development industry has made significant strides in addressing inefficiencies. However, manufacturing remains a significant barrier to making new therapies widely accessible. Low productivity, lengthy production timelines, high Cost of Goods (CoGs), and challenges in characterizing complex products continue to be major obstacles, particularly in the manufacturing of advanced therapies, such as genetic medicines,” said Dr. Konstantinov. “The development of next-generation genetic medicine vectors alongside highly productive manufacturing processes is essential to usher in a new era of genetic therapies.”

Ring Therapeutics is developing the AnelloBricks™ manufacturing platform: a novel, cell-free, in vitro assembled viral vector system based on commensal human anelloviruses offering a highly modular, versatile, and scalable manufacturing platform solution to genetic medicines. Comprised of two components (recombinant protein and nucleic acid payload), the AnelloBricks™ manufacturing platform dramatically reduces manufacturing complexity and provides a clear path toward the industrialization of Ring’s Anellovector™ therapeutics.

Presentation details below:

• Speaker: Konstantin Konstantinov, Ph.D., Chief Technology Officer at Ring Therapeutics
• Presentation Date and Time: Tuesday, October 15^th, 17:55 CEST
• Location: Politecnico di Milano – Bovisa Campus, Aula Carlo De Carli, Via Durando – Building B9, Milan, Italy

Each year, the SPICA Conference has served as the premier international gathering to learn and discuss the latest progress in the field of preparative and industrial chromatography, bringing together scientists working in fundamental research and practical applications across chemistry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, polymers, natural products, food, and fragrances.
