We have hired a scientist who is working on this project and have designed multiple versions of the genetic constructs needed to create the cell lines. We are cloning and evaluating designs at the moment. We are benefitting from progress in the field of controlled gene expression.
We are continuing to clone the constructs and develop the cell lines. Thanks to progress in the field, the number of molecular mechanisms we are evaluating has increased.
At this stage, we need to finish the evaluation, identify which strategy (if any) will be successful, and select the final version of the producer cell line. Once completed, we will progress to next steps (additional refinement of the technology, IP, commercialization, licensing, follow on funding etc.).
