Looking back on a successful first experience of the BioEurope Spring Conference held in Barcelona for ExCulture. We had the opportunity to make many new and foster existing connections in the fermentation, manufacturing, clinical and regulatory fields. We look forward to following up with those in the coming weeks. Here's to future BioEurope partnering opportunities. Great to see such a large Dutch presence at the conference, centred with hollandbio and Health~Holland! 🇳🇱 🌷 #ExCulture #BioEurope #partnering #biotech #lifesciences #regulatory #clinical #manufacturing #netherlands #fermentation #heparin

Meet ExCulture at Hello Tomorrow in Paris! Interested to hear how we're using fermentation to develop an animal-free, alternative heparin?
