New podcast: Beyond Biotech spotlights Pichia pastoris

Pichia pastoris: the microbial protein expression platform you’re probably underestimating

A new episode of Beyond Biotech – the podcast from Labiotech spotlights Pichia pastoris and explores how this versatile yeast can be developed into a high-performance platform for recombinant protein production.

In the episode, Iskandar Dib from VALIDOGEN provides expert insights into the conditions and design strategies under which Pichia pastoris achieves exceptional expression performance — from advanced strain engineering and secreted protein production to methanol-free technologies and scalable bioprocesses that drive next-generation manufacturing.

For those exploring recombinant expression systems for biopharma, industrial enzymes, food & feed, or diagnostic applications, this 30-minute discussion offers a concise overview of the opportunities and practical considerations in leveraging yeast-based expression platforms for high-yield, cost-efficient production.
