TOPCAPI - Thoroughly Optimised Production Chassis for Advanced Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Funded by: EUROPEAN COMMISSION - Horizon 2020 - NMBP-BIO-2016 - Proposal 720793-2 - Duration (months): 48
TOPCAPI will exploit the natural biosynthetic potential of actinomycetes as microbial cell factories to produce advanced pharmaceutical ingredients: a new anti-acne drug, in Phase II clinical trials, and three related drugs against multidrug resistant bacteria MRSA, in Phase III clinical trials. For that purpose, two common microbial bacteria will be characterized using systems biology approaches, applying integrated data analysis to transcriptomics and metabolomics experiments, combined with predictive mathematical modelling to drive the rapid improvement of these microbial cell factories for industrial production of these drugs. At the same time, we will establish a toolbox for future engineering high value advanced pharmaceutical ingredients.
